It's also about presentation--fine china teacups (never mugs!), with carefully coordinated saucers and plates. With her fragile stock running low, Lily visits an antiques fair where she 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn acquaintance of Lily's named Rachel is on the trail of the tea set too. Apparently, she and Kimberly are half-sisters, searching for their mother's final will. But it's more than a storm in a teacup when one of the sisters is found dead on the grounds of the B\u0026amp;B owned by Lily's grandmother, Rose. Is this a simple case of greed boiling over, or are there other suspects in the blend? It'll take some savvy sleuthing from Lily, Rose, and their allies to find the answers before a killer shatters more lives . . .","brand":"Kensington Cozies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48000008716477,"sku":"BS-TC0-737731","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/9767\/2637\/files\/9781496737731-HD.jpg?v=1786794954","url":"https:\/\/boundigo.com\/products\/steeped-in-malice","provider":"Boundigo Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
