Description - A Nice Cup of Tea by Anthony Gilbert

After years of caring for her often impossible mother, Alice is finally free. But an unexpected legacy gives her more than she bargained for...

Classic crime from one of the greats of the Detection Club

When Alice Hunter's mother dies, after grimly clinging on for eighty-odd years, it is enough for genteel Alice just to be free. But she soon becomes lonely, having few points of contact with the people in the cheap boarding houses which are all she can afford. Then comes news of a legacy, and Alice's soul rises as she travels to the family's lawyers in Bath.

Her new life is not what she expects, however, and she is lost in a fog of human misunderstanding, hatred and deceit. A nice cup of tea, stirred by detective Arthur Crook, is what she will need to put things right . . .
