About this eBook
Murder at an Alice in Wonderland–themed event threatens to send Theodosia Browning through the looking glass in the latest entry in this New York Times bestselling series.
During the Mad Hatter Masquerade, a fundraiser hosted by the Friends of the Opera on the grounds of the old Pendleton Grist Mill, Harlan Sadler, husband of Cricket Sadler, the chairwoman, is killed. He’s been hit in the head with a croquet mallet, and his body hung on the chains and paddles of the grist mill. Nobody can figure out why since Harlan was much beloved by everyone. It’s only after Cricket and Delaine beg Theodosia to investigate that she realizes the killer might have mistaken Harlan for his crazy son, Duke. After all, Duke is a slum landlord and recently injured a woman in a boating accident.
INCLUDES DELICIOUS RECIPES AND TEA TIME TIPS!

Peach Tea Smash by Laura Childs is twenty-eighth A Tea Shop Mystery. I enjoyed catching up with Theodosia, Drayton, Hayley, Earl Gray, Detective Tidwell, and the rest of the gang. Unlike the earlier novels in A Tea Shop Mysteries, the whodunit is on the lighter side. There are robberies happening around town as well. I was left with a couple of unanswered questions at the end of the book. The author captures Charleston with her vivid descriptions of the buildings and streets.
