for a Book Signing and Tea Party!

In the latest novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Scones and Bones, Indigo Tea Shop owner Theodosia Browning finds herself in hot water when a body surfaces at the grand opening of Charleston's Neptune Aquarium...

The opening of Charleston's Neptune Aquarium is a major event, and Theodosia Browning, owner of the Indigo Tea Shop, has been hired to cater tea, scones, and finger foods for the private party of big buck donors. But when Theodosia slips away to view the Ocean Wall exhibit, she discovers the body of a man, tangled in a net, drowned in this state-of-the-art tank.

The EMTs on the scene say the man drowned, but Theodosia spots defensive wounds on his hands. Even though the police are not keen on her theory, Theodosia chases down a raft of suspects that include a shady lawyer, an extravagant lady restaurateur, and an aquarium board member. Complications ensue when Theodosia is also tapped to compete in a charity scavenger event, cater a tea luncheon at her Aunt Libby's plantation, and host a Chado ceremony at the Heritage Society.

Along with pulse-pounding action, there are plenty of tea tips and recipes for Charleston Pecan Brownie Bars, Honey Bee Scones, and Sweet Potato Butter.
