About the book
The bestselling author of Oolong Dead serves up an Old-World treat, spiced with a Sherlock Holmes-style murder mystery.
It was the kind of evening that Theodosia Browning had always imagined, reminiscent of a scene from the works of Charles Dickens. In Charleston, shop owners dressed in old-fashioned cloaks welcomed visitors through their back doors, offering both great deals and Theodosia's famous teas.
As the evening went on, the alleys emptied out until only one person remained - a shocking discovery awaited Theodosia. It was Daria, the owner of the map store. There had been rumors of locals wanting to purchase her shop, but had someone gone so far as to commit murder for it? Additionally, there was a suspicious customer who had been determined to get their hands on a map that wasn't even for sale.
Among all the theories circulating, none was as chilling as Detective Tidwell's suggestion that the killer might have mistaken Daria for Theodosia. If that were true, then the danger was far from over.
