Book Description:
Indigo Tea Shop owner Theodosia Browning and her staff are catering an unusual Charleston society benefit--a "Ghost Crawl" through the spooky grounds of the historic Jasmine Cometary. Sadly, the doctor who thought up the event doesn't live to enjoy his own work. He drops dead during the Crawl, and it looks like foul play -- but how could such a fine, upstanding citizen have any mortal enemies? Theodosia starts stirring things up with her own investigation to find the do-badder behind this most uncharitable act. But before long, chasing down the culprit gets her in hot water up to her neck...

I thought this was the strongest book in the series so far, though I was kind of disappointed that the person I *really* wanted to be guilty wasn't. It was nice to see Theodosia acting more her age than the spinsterish portrayals of previous entries.

Another good mystery involving Theodosia Browning owner of the Indigo Tea Shop. Theodosia trys to solve the murder of a local doctor during a society benefit in the spooky grounds of the historic Jasmine Cemetery. Of course Theodosia finds herself in the middle of the mystery when someone tries to kill her also. Another great, quick reading book in the Tea Shop Mystery series.

A Theodosia Browning, of tea shop in Charleston fame, story perfect for Halloween. Who killed the doctor on the society "Ghost Crawl" (for charity, of course) through the spooky grounds of an historic Charleston cemetary? There are plenty of breaks for tea, of course, and tea-making tips and recipes are included.

From Publishers Weekly: "...the fifth installment in her popular Tea Shop mystery series (Death by Darjeeling, etc.). Theodosia Browning, proprietor of the Indigo Tea Shop, and her staff are serving tea and goodies during the first-ever "Ghost Crawl in Charleston's famed Jasmine Cemetery." The event ends abruptly when Dr. Jasper Davis, uncle of Theo's beau, Jory, dies mysteriously and publicly. Det. Burt Tidwell makes Theo promise she won't stick her amateur nose in, but a frazzled Jory pleads with her to use her special abilities as a sleuth to root out the killer. The victim was vice-president in charge of research at a large medical products company, Cardiotech, and Theo suspects Dr. Davis's death is connected with his job. A second murder complicates things, but Theo perseveres and eventually corners the killer using a snazzy bit of up-to-date technology to summon help. Fans will enjoy the rich brew of murder, tea lore and mouth-watering descriptions of food (recipes included). The alluring jacket art—a tea spread out on a blanket in the foreground with ghostly gravestones under a full moon in the background—captures the mood perfectly."
