A small English town. An enchanted tea room. A murder at a horse race. Can this newbie witch and her vampire friends catch the killer?

Minnie Wells, here! I was hoping for a fun weekend at the biggest horse races in England. But instead, I discover the body of an infamous horse trainer, murdered in the stables!

Now I’ve got to team up with my sassy black cat familiar to catch the killer and clear the track’s veterinarian of the bogus charges against him.

But as I wade through a long list of suspects, from rival jockeys to angry animal rights activists, I’m afraid I’ve caught the killer’s notice.

Can I solve the case before I’m next on the chopping block?

This is a clean, paranormal cozy mystery series with zero profanity or violence, but heaps of humor and a hint of romance. If you like escaping into stories with charming English settings, hilarious characters, talking cats, and twisty mysteries, you’ll love English After-Doom Tea!

English After-Doom Tea by Erin Johnson has Minnie dealing with a mystery at a derby.

Can Minnie find out who killed Timmy Pipe?

Minnie Wells

Minnie Wells is at Derbyshire working with her butler friends and Fitz serving the goers to the derby. I loved everything about this installment, especially Minnie’s jealously toward Fitz and someone else. She is getting better at her magic, and another thing that I love is Tilda. Tilda is such a sweet and sassy familiar for Minnie.

Minnie gets wrapped up in solving another mystery because she wants to prove someone is innocent and to help out the police. I didn’t know who did it this time since the victim was a real piece of work. Minnie got to the right person at the end, which is always a good thing. I love Minnie, Fitz, and all of the people Minnie has met. These people are helping her through a tough time in her life, and it’s a good thing to have them there to help her out.

The Victim

The victim is an infamous horse trainer by the name of Timmy Pipe. The guy is known in the horse racing world to keep his horses going out on the race track even if they aren’t in good health to do that, along with threatening jockeys if they don’t do exactly as he and the horse’s owner wants. Timmy dying gets Minnie wrapped up in solving the mystery as a veterinarian who didn’t like Timmy is the fallout guy. I think that Timmy might have been zealous about making sure the horses he trained won the races because he spent a lot of time preparing them, so Timmy knew that they could win the race. I’m afraid I disagree with how Timmy treated the jockeys, horses, his training staff, the veterinarians, and others who care for the horses he trains. I also don’t agree that he deserved to die and especially for the reason that he did.

Ms. Johnson has done a fantastic job on this mystery as I didn’t think it was the person who did do it.

Five Stars

I am giving English After-Doom Tea by Erin Johnson five stars and recommending it to anyone that loves a paranormal cozy mystery. Minnie’s world is great, and I love how she is growing, especially with her magic. She is a fabulous character, and Ms. Johnson has done fantastic work planning this whole series/world.
