Murder in a Teacup (Large Print)

Description

National bestselling author Vicki Delanys delightful Tea by the Sea mystery series continues, as Cape Cod tearoom proprietress and part-time sleuth, Lily Roberts, stirs up trouble when she unwittingly serves one of her grandmothers B&B guests a deadly cup of tea... Lily has her work cut out for her when a visit from her grandmother Roses dear friend, Sandra McHenry, turns into an unexpected--and unpleasant--McHenry family reunion. The squabbling boils over and soon Tea by the Seas serene afternoon service resembles the proverbial tempest in a teapot. Somehow, Lily and her tearoom survive the storm, and Sandras bickering brethren finally retreat to Roses B & B. But later that evening, a member of their party--harmless Ed French--dies from an apparent poisoning and suddenly Tea by the Sea is both scene and suspect in a murder investigation! Mercifully, none of the other guests fall ill. They all ate the same food, but Ed insisted on bringing his own special blend of herbal teas. So it seems, amid the whining and dining, someone snuck up to one of Lilys cherished teapots and fatally spiked Eds bespoke brew, but who? Was it Eds long-estranged sister-in-law? Did teenage troublemaker Tyler take a prank too far? Or perhaps the familys feuds have been steeping for longer than anyone realizes? Its up to Lily, Rose, and their friends to get to the bottom of the poisoned pot and bag the real culprit behind the kettle murder plot.
