This week's reviews are mystery titles
Theodosia's Honey Bee Tea was an elegant affair set in Charleston's new Petigru Park amid newly planted native grasses and a community beekeeping project in Honey Drop Dead-a Tea Shop Mystery #26 (M CHI L) by Laura Childs.
But when a phony beekeeper shows up and sprays toxic smoke at the guests, the party erupts in chaos. Worse yet, a shot rings out and Osgood Claxton III, candidate for state legislature, falls to the ground dead.
