A Nice Cup of Tea by Celia Imrie
___________________ ‘Anything written by Celia Imrie is guaranteed to put a smile on your face’ - Good Housekeeping ___________________ The beautiful town of Bellevue-sur-Mer is home to Theresa, Carol, William, Benjamin and Sally: five retired expats who have pooled their resources to set up La Mosaïque, a charming little restaurant on the French Riviera. But there’s trouble in paradise: the friends are desperately struggling to make ends meet and they soon discover that it will take everything they have to stop things from going very badly wrong. Some unsavoury characters from Sally’s acting days have returned, there’s mysterious phone calls afoot and Theresa is getting the distinct feeling that she’s being watched… And with fussy customers, obnoxious cruise parties and a failing delivery van, the friends begin to wonder how far they’ll need to go to keep their dream from disaster. The witty and enchanting third novel from the well-loved actress and Sunday Times-bestselling author of Not Quite Nice and Nice Work (If You Can Get It), perfect for fans of Katie Fforde and Fern Britton ___________________ Praise for the Nice series… ‘Her work has definite joie de vivre’ - Wendy Holden, Daily Mail ‘Hugely enjoyable’ - Katie Fforde ‘Utterly delicious’ - Joanna Lumley ‘Warm, light-hearted, fast-paced’ - Joanne Harris ‘Hugely entertaining’ - Julian Fellowes ‘Such a charming romp’ - Fern Britton ‘A shaft of early summer sunshine’ - Daily Mail 'A delicious piece of entertainment' - The Times
