Wrongfully Infused

Oxford Tearoom Mysteries, Book 11

De: H.Y. Hanna

Narrado por: Pearl Hewitt

Things are eerily quiet at Gemma's quaint English tearoom, and she can't understand why - until she learns about the trendy new "tea bar" that's opened on the other side of the village. To her horror, she soon finds her customers being stolen and her business the target of sabotage. Meanwhile, her mother's newfound obsession with all things Asian means a whole new world of fluffy footwear and hazardous dinner encounters. But Gemma has bigger problems than trying to eat with chopsticks when the ruthless rival tea bar owner is savagely murdered and she is considered the key suspect!

Now she's in a real pickle, desperate to clear her name. And with her detective boyfriend accused of nepotism and under suspicion, Gemma is forced to tackle the case on her own. Luckily, she can still count on the help of the nosy Old Biddies, while the naughty antics of her tabby cat, Muesli, uncover some unexpected clues too!

As Gemma delves into a mystery where "East meets West", familiar motives arise, despite the difference between cultures. But with a full menu of suspects - from the aggrieved dentist with the strained smile, to the belligerent chef who lost everything, and not to mention a pair of estranged sisters hurt by the ultimate betrayal - she discovers that solving this case is no piece of cake....

Bonus: traditional tea egg recipe included at the end of the story!

Another well written & enjoyable read/listen cozy

Wrongfully Infused (Oxford Tearoom Mysteries ~ Book 11), My twenty-third read/ listen from author H.Y. Hanna. An enjoyable cozy mystery. I absolutely loved Paerl Hewitt, the British accented narrator who adds greatly to the listening enjoyment with her wide variety of entertaining voices & inflections. “I received a free Audible copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review." The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Entertaining cozy mystery

Great cozy mystery. Both the author and the narrator kept me invested from the first chapter. With a number of twists and turns and a result I didn’t see coming, I was hooked. Cannot wait to read and or listen to more from this author.

Nice to be back in Oxford!

I enjoyed this latest entry in the Oxford Tearoom series. There's trouble at the Little Stables Tearoom, and Gemma and her friends are in the thick of it. As always, there's a murder, a plethora of suspects, some great food, interesting characters, and the beautiful setting of Oxford. What's not to love?

Well, for one thing - the "Old Biddies" have gotten way too raunchy. Their inappropriate (and unnecessary) comments were definitely on the downside of this otherwise fun story. And Gemma still hasn't learned that lying, aside from the fact that it's wrong, won't improve her relationship with her boyfriend.

On the plus side, there was an interesting storyline involving Asian culture and foods. The mystery held my interest, the characters were well drawn, and as always, the book was well written. A beautifully described afternoon when Gemma takes a walk through the city of Oxford was a highlight for me, and really made me want to see it for myself.

The audio version was a pleasure to listen to. The reader, Pearl Hewitt, has a wonderful gift of being able to voice all the different characters uniquely - even Muesli the mischievous cat! She switches effortlessly between different accents, and is an outstanding narrator.

I would like to note that the Audible website states: "Recipe included" - but in fact, it is not in the audiobook which was a disappointment to me.

Overall, (with just a few negatives) "Wrongfully Infused" was fun to listen to, and good escapist fare.
I would like to thank the author for the complimentary copy of this audiobook which I received in exchange for my honest review.

Love this series

I love reading these stories. Something quick and light and good. Always a complete delight.

I loved it!

I couldn’t wait for the release of this book and it didn’t disappoint. I love this series!

Another hit!!

I enjoy all of HY Hanna’s books but this series is my favorite so far. Can’t wait for the next book to come out!

Another great story

Listen to a good, cozy mystery & great narrator. Really looking forward to many more.

another fun story but...

spoiler alert: Jemma is getting annoying. I dont blame Devlin. just saying. I hope her character gets less obnoxious if there is another book.

Love My Oxford Tea Room Adventures

Gemma is such a mix of that British stiff upper lift and yet so ready to tackle any situation, and it is no different in this outing as she works to save her business and solve the murder of her new nemesis. This time, she goes it alone, at least without Devlin, but with plenty of tips from the Old Biddies. Oddly enough, her mother helps with some of her business woes, along with Cassie, of course. Great fun and challenging mystery. I only gave it 4 stars because I am not a fan of character upheaval. Let's just say I need resolution in the next book.

Great Story

I enjoy this series and appreciate the turn this story took. I liked learning more about Taiwanese culture.
