Dear Librarians,

Theodosia's Honey Bee Tea is an elegant affair set in Charleston's Petigru Park amidst native grasses and a bee keeping project. But when a phony bee keeper sprays toxic smoke at the guests, the party erupts in chaos. Then a shot rings out and politician Osgood Claxton III falls to the ground – dead. Holly Burns, the gallery owner who commissioned the tea, is in shock. A man is dead, guests injured, her paintings left in tatters.

When the police don't 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. This is book #26 of the Tea Shop Mystery series – a series that was pronounced "One of the absolute best cozy mystery series" by Book Riot and recently featured as a question on Jeopardy!

All my best
