Author(s): Laura Childs

Fiction

In the latest novel from the "New York Times" bestselling author of "Scones & Bones," Indigo Tea Shop owner Theodosia Browning finds herself in hot water when a body surfaces at the grand opening of Charleston's Neptune Aquarium... The opening of the aquarium is a major Charleston event, and Theodosia has been hired to cater the private party to honor dignitaries and big-buck donors. Things are going swimmingly--until Theodosia discovers a body entangled in a net, drowned in one of the aquarium's state-of-the-art tanks. To make matters worse, the victim is Theodosia's former boyfriend, Parker Scully. The EMTs think Parker's drowning was an accident, but when Theodosia notices what look like defense wounds on his hands, she realizes that someone wanted Parker dead. The police aren't keen on her theory, so if she wants Parker's killer brought to justice, Theodosia will have to jump into the deep end and start her own investigation...
