Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Kyoto was supposed to be peaceful. Biscuit and Moriarty disagree.Ellie Hart has come to Japan to write about temples, tea, gardens, and the quiet beauty of Kyoto. For once, the assignment seems almost too perfect: an elegant setting, a refined inn, ancient traditions, and the kind of atmosphere that makes readers dream of booking a flight.Then someone dies.What first looks like a tragic accident begins to feel carefully arranged. Behind the polished rituals and serene gardens, Ellie finds rivalry, old resentments, hidden ambitions, and people who know exactly how to keep their secrets behind a graceful smile.Biscuit, her caramel-colored beagle, follows his nose through kitchens, courtyards, and conversations that suddenly stop when he appears. Moriarty, her blue-gray British Shorthair, has no patience for human lies and an alarming habit of choosing the one place everyone else overlooked.With the police focused on the obvious answer, Ellie must untangle a delicate web of clues before Kyoto's calm surface hides a killer for good.Murder in Kyoto is a standalone travel cozy mystery featuring a female amateur sleuth, a lovable dog, a sharp-eyed cat, atmospheric Japanese settings, food, tea, secrets, and a fully solved murder.
