Tearoom proprietress Lily Roberts, after buying a Peter Rabbit-themed tea set at an antiques fair, finds trouble brewing when two sisters want the set back and one winds up dead, making Lily wonder if this is a simple case of greed boiling over or something else entirely. - Random House, Inc.
Thanks to the Great Teacup Shortage, Cape Cod tearoom proprietress Lily Roberts is already feeling the strain. But when a family fracas turns deadly over an antique tea set, sheâll really have to pour through the clues before another crime is brewed up.
With a âbeautifully described setting and a cast of charming, small-town charactersâ (Booklist), this new installment in
award-winning crime writer Vicki Delanyâs Tea by the Sea Mystery series is a delightful treat for fans of Laura Childsâ Tea Shop Mysteries!
Afternoon tea isnât just about flavorful brews and delicious treats. Itâs also about presentationâfine china teacups (never mugs!), with carefully coordinated saucers and plates. With her fragile stock running low, Lily has an excuse to indulge in one of her favorite hobbies: visiting an antiques fair for replacements.
Among other finds, Lily snaps up a charming Peter Rabbit-themed tea set in a wicker basket, perfect for childrenâs events. But a few days later, a woman named Kimberly marches into the tearoom, rudely demanding to buy it backâthen later returns and removes an envelope hidden in the basketâs lining.
An acquaintance of Lilyâs named Rachel is on the trail of the tea set too. Apparently, she and Kimberly are half-sisters, searching for their motherâs final will. To her annoyance, Lily is dunked into the middle of this messâespecially when her ex-boyfriend turns out to be involved. But itâs more than a storm in a teacup when one of the sisters is found dead on the grounds of the B&B owned by Lilyâs grandmother, Rose.
Is this a simple case of greed boiling over, or are there other suspects in the blend? Itâll take some savvy sleuthing from Lily, Rose, and their allies to find the answers before a killer shatters more lives . . .
