Death at Primrose Tea
Primrose Hollow, spring 1932. Small places, large secrets. Six letters of gentle pressure, and a solution that still has to earn your respect. No on-page gore.
- 6 letters · one complete case
- One-time purchase
- Two-Lock ending
A jar labeled for Edith alone was open.
Cozy temperature: tea-steam and parish noticeboards instead of trench coats. Stakes are human: reputation, loyalty, quiet harm. Fair-play logic still applies.
Tearoom host Iris Wetherby asks for help after Edith Hargrove dies following a quiet Sunday at home. The tearoom’s private lemon-curd jar labeled for Edith alone was open when nothing else should have been. One early clue: receipt numbers that never issued at Edith’s till.
Digital envelopes. One complete case.
Each delivery is a letter (~2 pages) plus printable extras. Choose the $27 drip (one letter every 5 days over about 26 days) or $37 unlock-all (all six at once). Two-Lock ending: letters 1–5 plant who and how; the decisive why and final proof open in letter 6.
Warm, observant, lightly wry. Domestic detail that turns out to matter. Questions asked as if over a kitchen table.

FAQ
Is this a subscription or physical mail?
No. Both $27 and $37 are one-time purchases of one complete digital case. Letters arrive by email. Print what you want; keep the rest on screen. Not a recurring subscription and not postal mail.
What if I stop reading early?
You keep every letter already delivered. The drip is not a cancelable subscription that stops billing; you already paid once. Lock Two (the decisive why and final proof) is in letter 6, so finishing matters for the ending, not because billing continues.
How does checkout work?
Checkout opens WarriorPlus in a new tab. Vendor name appears as Ry04Mac. Choose Buy drip · $27 or Unlock all · $37. 14-day money-back guarantee. Delivery by email from hello@monthlycasefile.com.
Does the free case spoil this one?
No. The free complete three-letter mystery (The Silver Bloom Cup) is a separate mini-case and does not spoil any paid case.
