Description
Tea maven Theodosia Browning brews up trouble in the latest Tea Shop Mystery from New York Times bestselling author Laura Childs. It is the week before Halloween and Theodosia Browning, proprietor of the Indigo Tea Shop, and her tea sommelier, Drayton, are ghosting through the dusk of a cool Charleston evening on their way to the old Bouchard Mansion. Known as
the Gray Ghost, this dilapidated place was recently bequeathed to the Heritage Society, and tonight heralds the grand opening of their literary and historical themed haunted house. Though Timothy Neville, the patriarch of the Heritage Society, is not thrilled with the fund-raising idea, it is the perfect venue for his grandniece, Willow French, to sign copies of her new book, Carolina Crimes Creepers. But amid a parade of characters dressed as Edgar Allan Poe, Lady Macbeth, and the Headless Horseman, Willow's body is suddenly tossed from the third-floor tower room and left to dangle at the end of a rope. Police come screaming in and
Theodosia's boyfriend, Detective Pete Riley, is sent to Willow's apartment to investigate. But minutes later, he is shot and wounded by a shadowy intruder. Timothy begs Theodosia to investigate, and shaken by Riley's assault, she readily agrees. Now, she questions members of the Heritage Society and a man who claims the mansion is rightfully his, as well as Willow's book publisher and her fiancé, all while hosting a Sherlock Holmes tea and catering several others. But the Gray Ghost holds many secrets, as do several other key suspects, while this murder mystery plays out on the eve of Halloween.

      • content: Narrator Barbara McCulloh captures the personality and character of Theodosia Browning, owner of Charleston's Indigo Tea Shop. Theodosia gets a real shock when her Halloween visit to a literary-themed haunted mansion produces a real body. She's barely recovered when her boyfriend, Detective Pete Riley, is shot at the home of the victim. Theodosia is drawn into investigating both crimes. McCulloh captures the sunny disposition of the inquisitive, even nosy, amateur sleuth. McCulloh uses just the occasional accent despite the many characters, but her expressive, resonant voice keeps listeners engaged with the story. V.M.G. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine
