Theodosia Browning investigates a
Charleston steeped in tradition and treachery in the latest Tea Shop Mystery
from New York Times bestselling author Laura
Childs.
While
viewing the harbor's Gaslights and Galleons Parade from the widow's walk of
Timothy Neville's Charleston mansion, local banker Carson Lanier seemingly
tumbles over a narrow railing, then plunges three stories to his death. But a
tragic accident becomes something much more sinister when it's discovered that
the victim was first shot with a bolt from a crossbow.
At the
request of the mansion owner, Theodosia investigates the tragedy and is soon
neck deep in suspects. An almost ex-wife, a coworker, a real estate
partner--all had motives for killing the luckless banker, but one resorted to
murder to settle accounts.
INCLUDES
DELICIOUS RECIPES AND TEA TIME TIPS!
Review: Plum Tea Crazy has to be one of the prettiest books I've ever held in my hands. The cover is just so gorgeous. I'm a huge fan of the Tea Shop Mysteries. I've been reading them as I find them for ages. This is book 19 in the series.
This was a particularly interesting mystery when a banker plunges to his death, which ends up being a murder. Theo ends up investigating and there is no shortage of suspects.
Like most of Ms Child's books, you'll have a hard time deducing who the real suspect was. Also, there where some fabulous recipes and tea tips.
