Who could have wanted restaurateur Parker Scully dead? This is the question being asked by tea shop owner Theodosia Browning after she discovers the body of Parker, her former boyfriend, floating in one of Charleston's Neptune Aquarium's tanks during its grand opening, one of the city's premier social events. Theo disagrees with the local police, who believe that Parker drowned accidentally, after she notices what appear to be defensive wounds on his hands.
Author Childs leads Theo and her friends on a merry chase as they juggle business with amateur detective work, blending and serving tea, baking, and catering social events while tracking down clues and suspects. Could one of the area's competing restaurant owners have had a hand in Parker's death? What about the new restaurant he planned to open? Several near miss accidents, a charity scavenger hunt, and a lot of exciting action blended with Childs's delightful tea-related details make this one a winner.
