Theodosia Browning seems to have the uncanny knack of being the one to find the victims, which normally would've had the police all over her, but not in this book. It's was good, except for the ending in which Theodosia does not exhibit common sense. The issue of the exotic animals, in which I'll refrain from spilling too much details here, really bothers me as to what Theodosia did with them. It is illegal for a reason folks... I have to admit, I adore this series, but out of the line so far, this is the weakest. The characters seem a bit forced, and the situations a bit less than plausable. Admittedly, part of the problem is inherent in *having* a mystery series; if there really was this one person who was around when every local murder happened, she or he would either be locked up in jail or be friendless as you'd never know when you'd be next. :D 0.148 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0425208079, Hardcover)The new mystery in the bestselling series that's growing by leaps and bounds-and serves up "just the right blend of cozy fun and clever plotting."*Social darling Delaine Dish is throwing a lavish Candlelight Concert to raise funds to restore a run-down Victorian home-and Theodosia Browning is more than happy to help out with tea and tasty treats from the Indigo Tea Shop. Unfortunately, the unveiling of Theo's opulent spread proves to be far from grand after retired CEO and beloved politico Duke Wilkes falls to the floor with a jagged piece of metal protruding from his neck. When the Widow Wilkes begs Theo to apply her sleuthing skills, she can't refuse. But her investigation opens up a simmering pot of shady politics and personal payback, and Theo soon finds herself in a situation stickier than any jam she's ever served.

I continue to be disappointed by the lack of attention paid to typos. (
