Notting Hill has its own perfume: rain-damp cobblestones, fresh bread from the bakery next door, and the faint, persistent scent of secrets.
Felicity Carter has always had a nose for the last one.
A former perfumer turned artisan tea maker, Felicity runs her small tearoom in the heart of Notting Hill with the same quiet precision she once applied to blending fragrances — reading the world through what it gives off rather than what it says.
It's a useful skill in a neighborhood where everyone is charming, well-dressed, and carefully vague about themselves.
When the organizer of an elite artisan knife competition is found dead during the event itself, the police settle quickly on a convenient suspect. Too quickly, in Felicity's estimation. Because she knew the victim. And she knows that convenient rarely means correct.
What begins as quiet observation becomes something far more urgent as Felicity uncovers a pattern beneath the crime — years of deliberate harm, hidden behind the glossy surface of a competitive community. A pattern that someone worked very hard to keep buried.
And now that Felicity is close to the truth, someone is paying attention to her.
Warm, sharp, and deceptively quiet, *Poison at Five O'Clock* introduces an amateur sleuth who solves mysteries the way she blends tea: by trusting her instincts, taking her time, and never ignoring what doesn't quite smell right.
Perfect for fans of Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club, H.Y. Hanna's Oxford Tea Room series, and M.C. Beaton's Agatha Raisin.
