"Always happy to contribute to worthy causes, Indigo Tea Shop owner Theodosia Browning and her loyal staff are catering an elegant - if unusual - Charleston society event. It's a "Ghost Crawl" through the spooky grounds of the historic Jasmine Cemetery. The show even comes complete with hired "ghosts" - actors, that is, playing some of the more prominent residents of the old cemetery." "The event, sponsored by a local medical organization, is intended to benefit various charities and help at-risk children. And the organizer of the fete, Dr. Jasper Davis, has put in a lot of work to make it a success and get those contributions rolling in. Unfortunately, he doesn't get to enjoy the proceedings himself, considering that during the Crawl's theatrical number, he drops dead. It looks like foul play - but how could such a fine, upstanding citizen have any mortal enemies?" With a sensitive nose for trouble, 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.
