In Steeplechase, the tea is hot, the coffee is strong, and the family secrets are toxic.
Madison Beans Perkins hoped the only thing steaming at the Steeplechase Botanical Gardens' Mother's Day Tea & Tour would be her signature Hazelnut Silk coffee. She was wrong. When the town's wealthiest and most reviled matriarch, Beatrice Thorne, drops dead face-first into a prize-winning azalea bush, the garden party turns into a crime scene.
The police suspect a heart attack, but Madison's refined palate detects something sinister. The killer didn't just use a weapon; they used the garden itself.
With her own catering reputation on the line and a detective boyfriend who strictly forbids her from crossing the police tape, Madison has no choice but to dig into the thorny history of the Thorne dynasty. The suspect list is longer than the buffet line: a downtrodden son facing disinheritance, a daughter-in-law with a secret herbal laboratory, and a mysterious stranger with a familiar jawline.
With the help of Mavis, who is currently weaponizing a garden gnome, Madison must weed out the killer before they strike again. But in a family where money is the root of all evil, Madison might find that the poison didn't fall far from the tree.
Come for the coffee, stay for the chaos. The Aromatic Alibis series continues with a blend of mystery that's good to the last drop.
