Summary

As fireflies dazzle like tiny glowing lanterns, tea maven Theodosia hosts an elegant evening tea on the patio of the Tangled Rose B & B. But in this gentle darkness an intruder has slipped deadly drugs into the baked Alaska of Mrs Van Courtland, one of Charleston's local grande dames. Shocked by this brazen act, and urged on by Mrs V's grieving son, Theodosia begins her own investigation. Soon, she finds herself at odds with a greedy developer, the questionable residents of Honey Badger House, a vengeful ex-daughter-in-law, ne'er do well relatives, and a housekeeper who knows all the secrets. As Theodosia hosts a Moulin Rouge Tea and a Queen Victoria Tea, her tea sommelier Drayton is assaulted by a masked stranger, and the fiancée of Mrs V's son is kidnapped. It's not until the Starry Starry Night black-tie ball that Theodosia stumbles upon the killer ... and gets pulled into a dramatic life-and-death chase.
