Death by Darjeeling, by Laura Childs
South Carolinian Theodosia Browning, proprietor of the Indigo Tea Shop, delights in catering Charleston’s historic Lamplighter Tour until a guest drops dead at his table, teacup in hand. Poisoned. When Theo’s employee Bethany becomes a suspect, Theo investigates on her own to prove Bethany’s innocence in Tea Shop Mystery debut, DEATH BY DARJEELING. An anonymous threat to her beloved dog, Earl Grey, only increases Theo’s determination. While compiling her suspect list, Theodosia unwittingly walks into the killer’s lair and nearly suffers poisoning herself. Fortunately, a silver teapot comes to the rescue. Thank goodness for hot tea!
