Stirring Up Suspense

The cinnamon tea lover in me thrives Hand-held book comes to a surprising end Be careful reaching in the honey hives Observing cruelty of the author’s bend Suspense creeps in with tea and crumpets, dear, And murder, mayhem, chaos, stirred right in And lumps of sugar fuel our need to fear So not to take a sip, would be a sin That spot of tea with a delicious plot Interesting characters, both good and bad Protagonist fights her way to the top It can drive your tea bags stark raving mad Authors have that awful glint in their eyes Because they do decide – who lives, who dies
