Ming Tea Murder

About the book

Usually, Theodosia wouldn’t be caught dead at a formal event for anything in the world. However, she couldn’t refuse her attractive boyfriend, Max, who oversees public relations for the Gibbes Museum in Charleston. Max has orchestrated a spectacular gala to unveil an exhibit featuring a genuine Chinese teahouse from the eighteenth century, and the elite of Charleston society are on the guest list.

In the enchanting garden set up in the museum’s rotunda, a Chinese dragon dances to the rhythm of drums as it winds its way through the crowd. The attendees are treated to the melodies of a Chinese violin while indulging in a variety of delectable treats. As a keepsake from the event, there’s even a photo booth. However, behind the curtains of the booth, Theodosia makes a chilling discovery: the lifeless body of museum benefactor Edgar Webster.

Although Theodosia usually prefers brewing tea to resolving criminal cases, she can’t overlook this one - especially when Max becomes a suspect. Now, she must delve into the life of the deceased philanthropist and uncover who truly had a motive for his demise...
