About the book
An attack on the host of a fancy tea party sends Theodosia Browning looking for answers in the latest entry in the New York Times bestselling series.
Tea maven Theodosia Browning and her tea sommelier, Drayton Conneley, are catering a Victorian Christmas party at a swanky mansion in downtown Charleston. Drucilla Heyward, the hostess, is one of the wealthiest women in town.
As the champagne flows and the tea steeps, Drucilla is so pleased with the reception by her partygoers that she reveals her secret plan to Theodosia. The Grande Dame has brought the cream of Charleston society together to reveal that she is planning to give her wealth away to various charitable organizations. However, before she can make the announcement, Theodosia finds her crumpled unconscious in the hallway. It looks like the excitement has gotten to the elderly woman–except that there is a syringe sticking out of her neck
And I thought
I am always glad to hear when Author Laura Childs releases a new book. Especially when it is in the Tea Shop series and on tour with Great Escapes Book Tours.
I have to give Miss Childs credit for introducing me to how lovely Tea Parties can be even though the ones she writes about tend to involve murder and a good mystery!
I Especially enjoyed the Charleston setting. And the High Society characters.
I enjoyed turning the pages and being swept along while Theodoshia muddles out the mystery.
I am glad it wasn't me who had to figure everything out. There were several suspects that kept me guessing.
I enjoyed Christmas time theme
I loved the cover of this book. I wanted to go to the Tea Party!
One of my favorite things about this series is the addition of recipes and tips for hosting a Tea Party.
Thank you Laura Childs for such a fun series.
I received a complimentary copy.
