Synopsis: Theodosia Browning has been asked to host a luncheon to benefit the Charleston Opera Society, which is throwing a Verdi-themed Masked Ball. She certainly has a lot on her mind - especially after she finds the dead body of her arch nemesis, Abby Davis. To further complicate things, the victim's brother happens to be Theodosia's old flame. Who'd have guessed they'd be reunited through cold-blooded murder?
As the opera house is transformed into a sumptuous Venetian carnivale, Theodosia's investigation into Abby's murder takes her to the backstage maze of a darkened theater. It's here that a maestro of murder waits for the next cue. All proving that when it comes to high drama, Theodosia can give Verdi a run for his drama...
Includes delicious recipes and tea time tips!
This book ends my Tea Shop Mysteries fascination. I have had such a splendid time with Theodosia, Drayton and Haley at the Indigo Tea Shop in Charleston's 250-year-old historic district learning about all manners of tea, visualising Haley's tasty treats from her oven and helping them along with their sleuthings. The next book, #11 called The Teaberry Strangler, is out on paperback in March 2011. I will be back for it. In the meantime, happy reading.
Rating: 3/5 (Good read)
