SPOTLIGHT ON LAURA CHILDS HIGH TEA AND MISDEMEANORS!

 

When a wedding is tragically averted by the death of the bridesmaid, Theodosia is 

determined to prove that it was murder in the latest entry in this New York Times bestselling series.

Theodosia Browning and her tea sommelier, Drayton Conneley, are tapped to cater the elegantwedding of Bettina and Jamie. Theodosia and Drayton are setting up when they hear a crash from the greenhouse. Shockingly, they discover that part of the roof has collapsed trapping a bridesmaid and the groom. He will pull through but the bridesmaid is no more. Theodosia is convinced it was murder.

Our review:

Another superb entry in this long running series!  Theo plunges forward as usual with her trusty sidekick Drayton, asking questions and eventually stumbling onto the perp!   Once again they have to weave their way through a complex net of clues and red herrings before the book finally reaches its conclusion!  the beginning of the book is awesosme. You almost feel like you are right there with the killer!  The ending is chock full of drama - suffice it to say Theo and Drayton have a VERY close call!  Maybe the closest yet!  The groom was a bit too much on the whiny side for my taste, but Theo comes through anyway---and gets a surprising assist from someone you wouldn't expect at the end!  (spoiler alert - it's NOT Delaine!).  Fans of this series will defintely not be disappointed, and new fans can easily catch up.

A definite five paws!!!!!!
