A search for a missing treasure stirs up the waters of the Charleston social set in the latest novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Teaberry Strangler . Indigo Tea Shop owner Theodosia Browning is lured into attending the Heritage Society's Pirates and Plunder show by her master tea blender. Amid the gold earrings and doubloons, an antique skull cup with a huge diamond steals the show - and gets plundered by someone who murders a history intern in the process. Even with that on her plate, Theodosia still has to attend Charleston's Food and Wine Festival, where she's hosting a tea and cheese tasting - the latest culinary trend. But as her thoughts keep drifting to the victim, Theodosia knows she'll have to whet her investigative skills to find the killer among a raft of suspects. . . Praise for Laura Childs 'Childs has a great eye for local color.' Publishers Weekly 'The right combination between tidbits on tea and an amateur-sleuth cozy.' Midwest Book Review Includes delicious recipes and tea time tips!

Makes me wish I could go there!
Not really interested in pirates or skulls but it worked in this story. I enjoyed reading this book.
Enjoyed the story-an easy read.
Very much a tea shop mystery.
Laura Child's most recent Tea Shop Mystery. Her best so far.
Tea Shop mystery. As usual, plenty of action and descriptions are mostly necessary for following the story.
