Steeped in Evil

Description

When a glamorous wine-tasting party at a local vineyard turns deadly, tea shop owner Theodosia Browning is pulled into a web of secrets, rivalries, and suspicious motives. As she navigates a cast of suspects bound together by old grudges and carefully curated appearances, Theodosia must use her sharp instincts and community ties to uncover what’s really been “steeping” beneath the surface. Blending cozy mystery charm with a darker, more Gothic edge, this installment explores obsession, deception, and the hidden costs of appearances. In Laura Childs’s signature style—warm, witty, and richly atmospheric—Theodosia’s investigation delivers suspense, character-driven clues, and a satisfying path to the truth.
