About this item
With a "beautifully described setting and a cast of charming, small-town characters" (BOOKLIST ) , this delightful cozy mystery series set in a Cape Cod tea shop will be irresistible for fans of Laura Childs' Tea Shop series. Afternoon tea isn't just about flavorful brews and delicious treats. It's also about presentation - fine china teacups (never mugs!) , with carefully coordinated saucers and plates. With her fragile stock running low, Lily has an excuse to indulge in one of her favorite hobbies: visiting an antiques fair for replacements. Among other finds, Lily snaps up a charming Peter Rabbit-themed tea set in a wicker basket, perfect for children's events. But a few days later, a woman named Kimberly marches into the tearoom, rudely demanding to buy it back - then later returns and removes an envelope hidden in the basket's lining.
