Chamomile Mourning
Laura Childs

The national bestselling author pours another Tea Shop mystery. Includes a recipe and tea-making tips.

At Charleston's Spoleto festival, teashop owner Theodosia Browning is far from festive when the Poet's Tea is forced indoors by rain. But rain proves to be the least of her problems after a local auction house owner plummets from a balcony to his death-and it looks like someone helped him over the edge.

With a full kettle of suspects, Theodosia investigates and uncovers a criminal enterprise of art forgery, fraud-- and murder--that leads her into the murky swamps of the South Carolina Lowcountry. Now, she's hot on the heels of a criminal who plans on showing her just how dangerous it is to stick her sensitive nose where it doesn't belong.
