Crumpets

Broken hearted as well as broke, Emma invests everything she has left into a decaying, derelict ex-funeral parlour on dingy, run-down Bucket Street. Her rose-tinted vision and unwavering enthusiasm help bring the soul of the building back to life. But it’s not the only soul she discovers as age-old secrets soon surface... However, as Crumpets café begins to thrive, and Emma’s hard work begins to pay off, her dream quickly becomes a nightmare. Local protection racketeers, underhand property company dealings and secret council plans for a bypass threaten Emma’s newly built business. Can the unlikely friends she has made along the way help her protect Crumpets and its wonderful, close-knit community?
