Theo finds herself on the trail of a clever murderer in this case that is very personal. Trying not to get killed investigating the murder of her boyfriend's uncle, Theo stumbles across a web of intrigues. Childs uses in this one her background as a PR person to add a nice finish that ties all the plotlines together. Much better than the last one, the plot is solid and the tea shop gang is in high form. Haley's cooking makes your mouth water and Drayton's tea menu just makes you want to go and brew yourself a cup. It's not high literature but it's fun, light entertainment.
