The New York Times bestselling author of Ming
Tea Murder serves up heists, homicides, and herbal
blends in the latest in the Tea Shop mysteries.
Catering a high-class trunk show at Heart’s Desire
Jewelry is a shining achievement for Theodosia and the
Indigo Tea Shop. After all, a slew of jewelers, museums, and
private collectors will be there to showcase their wares and
sip some of Theo’s best blends. But just as Theo
settles in to enjoy the fruits of her labor, the party is
crashed by a gang of masked muggers who steal the precious
gems and jewels on display. The thieves disappear almost as
quickly as they arrived, leaving shattered glass, scattered
gemstones, and a dead body in their wake.
Although the last thing Theo wants is to get involved, she
can’t help but intercede when her dear friend Brooke,
aunt of the victim and owner of Heart’s Desire, begs
for help in figuring out who committed the brutal burglary.
Though the FBI believes this daring “smash and
grab” is the work of an international gang of jewel
thieves, Theo is convinced that the felon is someone much
closer to home…
