    The murder of a political bigwig at a Honey Bee Tea sends Theodosia Browning buzzing for answers in this latest installment of the New York Times bestselling series. 
     
    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!

    The BRAND NEW pulse-pounding cat & mouse thriller from INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER Gemma Rogers 
    How can one 12-hour night shift be so deadly? 
    I loved the anonymity, flexibility and solitude that working the night shift at Storage Queen gave me. 
    The unsociable hours paid well, helping me fund my university degree and giving me a quiet place to study while the world slept peacefully in their warm, cozy beds. It was the perfect job for me. 
    But that Friday night proved to be more than I bargained for when a man walked through the door, dragging a large suitcase. 
    My immediate instincts told me something was wrong. 
    That’s when my ordeal began. 
    I just had to make it through the night shift. 
    A pacy, heart stopping, page turning thriller for the fans of Shari Lapena and Lisa Jewell.
