Cassidy Monroe thought hosting the Garden Club Spring Gala would put her tearoom on the map in charming Maybelle, South Carolina. Instead, it becomes the scene of a shocking murder when the town's most powerful woman drops dead after sipping Cass's famous peach tea.
Now Cass is the prime suspect in a poisoning that has the whole town whispering.
With her business shuttered, her reputation in tatters, and the handsome sheriff-her ex-high school sweetheart-investigating the case, Cass has just days to clear her name. Armed only with her wits, her loyal assistant Grace, and her clever cat Mr. Darcy, she must unravel decades of secrets hidden beneath Maybelle's genteel Southern charm.
What she discovers is darker than she ever imagined.
As Cass digs deeper, she realizes the killer is still watching-and willing to strike again to protect their secrets. In a town where everyone knows everyone, trust is a dangerous luxury she can't afford.
Can Cass serve up justice before she ends up the next victim on the menu?
