Theodosia and
Drayton are catering a tea at a hot air balloon rally. Theodosia
leaps at the chance for a balloon ride. Dayton is not so
enthusiastic. When they’re aloft, they near another balloon just as
a strange object plows into it exploding the balloon and killing the
passengers.
Theodosia is
interviewed by Detective Tidwell, who hopes she’ll refrain from
using her detective skills in this case. She has good intentions, but
when one of the main suspects turns out to be the fiancée
of one of Theodosia’s best friends, she can’t help trying to
discover who committed the murder.
There’s no dearth
of suspects in this latest tea shop mystery. Somehow Theodosia meets
them all either through happenstance, or design. There’s the widow
of the murdered software CEO who is building a mansion which is
supposed to be a bed and breakfast, and there’s also the CEO’s
assistant and a missing Revolutionary war flag.
As usual, the
characters are delightful. I was a little disappointed that Detective
Riley, Theodosia’s current boyfriend, was away at a conference.
Hopefully, he’ll be back in the next book. I particularly enjoyed
the history woven into the story. It makes Charleston come alive.
The descriptions of
the teas were wonderful as usual. I’m glad the recipes are included
at the end of the book. The food is so mouthwatering, you can’t
help wanting to try it
. If you enjoy cozy mysteries, this is a good
one.
I received this book
from Net Galley for this review.
