Drew Farthering wanted nothing more than to end the summer of 1932 with the announcement of his engagement. Instead, he finds himself caught up in another mysterious case when the family solicitor is found murdered, an antique hatpin with a cryptic message, Advice to Jack, piercing his chest.
Evidence of secret meetings and a young girl’s tearful confession point to the victim’s double life, but what does the solicitor’s murder have to do with the murder of a physician on the local golf course? Nothing, it would seem–except for another puzzling note, affixed with a similar-looking bloodied hatpin.
Soon the police make an arrest in connection with the murders, but Drew isn’t at all certain they have the right suspect in custody. And why does his investigation seem to be drawing him closer and closer to home?
Julianna Deering has always been an avid reader and a lover of storytelling, whether on the page, the screen or the stage. This, along with her keen interest in history and her Christian faith, shows in her tales of love, forgiveness and triumph over adversity. A fifth-generation Texan, she makes her home north of Dallas with three spoiled cats and, when not writing, spends her free time quilting, cross stitching and watching NHL hockey. Her new series of Drew Farthering mysteries set in 1930s England debuts with Rules of Murder (Bethany House, Summer 2013) and will be followed by Death by the Book (Bethany House, Spring 2014) and Murder at the Mikado (Bethany House, Summer 2014).

Kenyan chai is my favorite (having grown up there). I make it with equal parts milk and water, a heaping spoonful of sugar for each cup, and plenty of spices: cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cardamom, cloves, mint – whatever I'm in the mood for at the time. Yum!
love those British mysteries set in the thirties
I always take mine straight, Annie. I guess I need to branch out and try something new.Julianna Deering
DeAnna – I don't think there's any wrong way to drink tea! 🙂 On the other hand, it has so much potential for interesting variety. Here in Taiwan where I live, tea is served cold and comes in all SORTS of flavor variations!
I enjoy my tea with honey and lemon!
Love Tea, Love Mysteries – its a great giveaway!
I like Green Tea hot with a little honey.
