So far I am really enjoying this one (series). It takes place in England, so I find the setting fun. In this book a customer has asked them (the hat shop) to make hats representative of Alice in Wonderland, for a tea party they are hosting. And of course Scarlett stumbles upon a dead body at the tea party. Since she and her cousin are considered possible suspects in the murder, of course Scarlett has to investigate. I enjoy the characters (although I wish Scarlett wasn't quite so defensive and stubborn). The book is an easy read. I am looking forward to receiving the 3rd book in the series (which comes out in Feb. 2015). I've loaned the 2 books in this series to my sister and she has enjoyed them as well. Review: Great second installment in a terrific cozy mystery series. - I rely on this series when I need a change of pace from the news of the day, the job, etc., and I want to fall into a true cozy mystery. I love the characters and this second book in the series improved on the first (which was good in and of itself) with character development and plot, and sense of place. I'm ready to jump into the third book in the series this weekend. I hope Jenn McKinlay keeps 'em coming! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0425258904 | | Best Sellers Rank | #243,499 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,923 in Science Fiction Crime & Mystery #2,685 in Amateur Sleuths #3,359 in Women Sleuths (Books) | | Book 2 of 7 | Hat Shop Mysteries | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (661) | | Dimensions | 4.25 x 0.83 x 6.81 inches | | ISBN-10 | 9780425258903 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0425258903 | | Item Weight | 6 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 304 pages | | Publication date | May 6, 2014 | | Publisher | Berkley | ## Images ![Death of a Mad Hatter (A Hat Shop Mystery) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81hlTNkJLYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enjoyable new series *by D***R on January 5, 2015* This is the second book of this series.

I love the characters and this second book in the series improved on the first (which was good in and of itself) with character development and plot, and sense of place. I'm ready to jump into the third book in the series this weekend. I hope Jenn McKinlay keeps 'em coming! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I'm Mad About This Series! *by D***S on May 19, 2014* Scarlett Parker and her cousin Vivian Tremont face a daunting task when they agree to design hats with an Alice in Wonderland theme for a tea party. Not only do they have to design hats but they have to deal with the Grisby family who have more than their share of issues. Scarlett and Vivian can handle the Grisby family dynamics - that is until a Grisby family member is murdered and it looks like one of the hats they made for the tea party may be the weapon! Scarlett and Viv, over the objections of their good friend Harrison Wentworth, begin to investigate the murder but Harrison is right to be worried - the killer is not afraid to attack again! “Death of a Mad Hatter” is the nicely done second book Jenn McKinlay’s Hat Shop cozy mystery series. While some cozy mystery series take a few books to completely develop the characters and setting, in this book they are already fully developed. Although I am not a hat person (just the opposite!), I like the hat shop setting and love the descriptions of the various hats worn in the book. As a change of pace from her other books McKinlay sets the series in London. I love the descriptions of various locations in London - I especially like the descriptions of the teas which made me hungry while reading the book. The characters (Scarlett, Viv, Fee, Harrison, Andre, and Nick) already feel like old friends (although I do hope McKinlay doesn't drag out the attraction between Scarlett and Harrison through too many books). The mystery itself is well plotted with plenty of suspects (you won't soon forget the Grisby family) and a few twists and turns. Scarlett does come perilously close to becoming A Too Stupid to Live Character - this does lend some tense moments to the book but is not my favorite plot device. “Death of a Mad Hatter” is another good cozy mystery by Jenn McKinley. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/6325393-death-of-a-mad-hatter-a-hat-shop-mystery](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/6325393-death-of-a-mad-hatter-a-hat-shop-mystery) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
