About the book:
In the
latest Tea Shop Mystery from New York Times bestselling author Laura Childs, Theodosia Browning attends
a “Rat Tea,” where the mice will play…at murder.
When Indigo
Tea Shop owner Theodosia Browning is invited by Doreen Briggs, one of
Charleston’s most prominent hostesses, to a “Rat Tea,” she is understandably
intrigued. As servers dressed in rodent costumes and wearing white gloves offer
elegant finger sandwiches and fine teas, Theo learns these parties date back to
early twentieth-century Charleston, where the cream of society would sponsor
so-called rat teas to promote city rodent control and better public health.
But this
party goes from odd to chaotic when a fire starts at one of the tables and
Doreen’s entrepreneur husband suddenly goes into convulsions and drops dead.
Has his favorite orange pekoe tea been poisoned? Theo smells a rat.
The
distraught Doreen soon engages Theo to pursue a discreet inquiry into who might
have murdered her husband. As Theo and her tea sommelier review the guest list
for suspects, they soon find themselves drawn into a dangerous game of cat and
mouse…

The Tea Shop Mysteries – set in the historic district of
Charleston and featuring Theodosia Browning, owner of the Indigo Tea Shop.
Theodosia is a savvy entrepreneur, and pet mom to service dog Earl Grey. She’s

inept police work to solve crimes. This charming series is highly atmospheric
and rife with the history and mystery that is Charleston.
