A year has passed since Tess had to leave the fast-paced life of London behind and settle into the quieter countryside of Cherrywood, Yorkshire. While she missed her old friends, Raven and Oliver, the slower pace of rural life was beginning to grow on her. However, everything changed when Clemmie Ackroyd, a beloved member of the community, was brutally murdered. The police quickly ruled it a robbery gone wrong, but Tess couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to the story.

As Tess dug deeper, she encountered an unexpected face from her past, someone who had always been a source of trouble. This person was pointing fingers and suggesting that Tess had something to do with Clemmie's death. Determined to clear her name, Tess found herself getting involved in the Women's Guild, a group of women who were known for their jam-making and their secrets.

As Tess delved deeper into the guild's activities, she discovered a web of lies and deceit that stretched far beyond the murder of Clemmie Ackroyd. She found herself caught up in a dangerous game of cat and mouse, with no one to trust and no way out. But Tess was not one to give up easily. She used her sharp wit and her ability to solve puzzles to piece together the truth and bring the murderer to justice.

In the end, Tess emerged victorious, and the Women's Guild was brought to ruin. She had saved the village from a dangerous threat and had proven herself to be a true hero. As she walked away from the scene of the crime, Tess couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction and pride. She had overcome all odds and had proven that she was not just a barista in a small town, but a capable and determined investigator.

The Cherrywood Murders was a delightful and charming cozy murder mystery that transported readers to the picturesque countryside of Yorkshire. The characters were well-developed and relatable, and the plot was filled with twists and turns that kept readers guessing until the very end. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good mystery, especially those who enjoy a dose of British charm with their crime fiction.
