When at the yearly yacht race a prominent member of Charleston’s society dies because the ancient gun he was using to signal the end of the race it seems like an accident. But Theodosia Browning isn’t so sure and she starts to dig into the mystery.
Just like the first book in the Tea Shop Mystery series, this one was full of charm. It has everything a good cozy needs: great setting, a colorful cast of characters, an intriguing mystery and a likable main character. However, just like the first book, the editing could have been better. There were still a lot of point of view changes, although the storyline was tighter than in the first book, so that’s progress. But my main problem with this book was the fact that Theodosia kept an important piece of evidence from the police, starting testing it herself, and in the end the detective in charge didn’t even mention it! That, for me, pulled the story down. But, setting that aside, this was a lovely cozy.
