Honey Drop Dead by Laura Childs
Theodosia's Honey Bee Tea was an elegant affair set in Charleston's new Petigru Park amid newly planted native grasses and a community beekeeping project. But when a phony beekeeper shows up and sprays toxic smoke at the guests, the party erupts in chaos. Worse yet, a shot rings out and Osgood Claxton III, candidate for state legislature, falls to the ground - dead. Holly Burns, the gallery owner who asked Theodosia to cater the tea, is understandably heartbroken. A man is dead, her guests are angry and injured, and the paintings that were on display are left in tatters. When the police don't seem to have a clue, when old-line politicos don't want questions asked, Holly begs Theodosia to run a shadow investigation and help restore her gallery's good name. Between hosting a Wind in the Willows Tea and a Glam Girl Tea, Theodosia questions everyone that had a bone to pick with Claxton. This includes Booker, an angry outsider artist; Lamar Lucket, Claxton's political opponent; and Mignon Merriweather, the dead man's soon-to-be ex-wife. But the investigation becomes a political hot potato following a second murder, the revelation of a messy affair, a chase through a swamp, and a vandalized shop. Includes delicious recipes and tea time tips!Laura Childs is the author of the Tea Shop Mysteries, the Cackleberry Club Mysteries, and the Scrapbooking Mysteries, which have all been New York Times bestsellers. She is an avid tea drinker, scrapbooker, and dog lover, and she and her professor husband, Dr. Bob, travel to China and Japan frequently. She was a Clio Award-winning advertisement writer and the head of her own marketing agency in the past.
