The Silver Needle Murder

By Laura Childs

Book Overview

When the Charleston Film Festival opens with a bang - the death of a famous director - Theodosia Browning is pulled into a murder investigation in this cozy New York Times bestselling series.

The staff at the Indigo Tea Shop are feeling the heat, and not just because it's August. The Charleston Film Festival has brought them a busy week of catering jobs - and first up is the opening night gala at the historic Belvedere Theatre. But the festival starts off with a bang when famous director Jordan Cole is shot on his way to the podium and the entire audience witnesses his death silhouetted across the scrim.

When two of the judges quit, festival organizer Timothy Neville asks Theodosia to stand in. He also wants her to help him deflect suspicion from his granddaughter, who worked with Cole. Reluctantly, Theodosia agrees - only to get pulled into an investigation as perilous as any big-screen thriller ...

The Silver Needle Murder: A Tea Shop Mystery

Loved the book it reminded me of all the times I have been to Charleston and all the places I have seen there and loved.....I loved the receipes at the end cant wait to use them for my friends when they come to my home for Tea.

Great Book

Laura Childs is a great author of the Tea Shop Mystery Series. These are great cozy mysteries. She keeps you guessing right up to the end.

Doesn't Disappoint!

I'm a fan of Laura Child's Tea Shop Mystery series and as always this one is a great choice for a quick, fun read. Her characters come to life and you are hard pressed to put the book down. My only complaint is that it takes too long for the next book to be published:-)

A Great Springtime Read!

Laura Childs does it again. I thought I had figured out who the murderer was and was completely surprised. Laura Childs does such a wonderful description of Charleston that I feel like I am there. I love how she has her charactors interact with each other. I can't wait for her next book!

Nancy Drew for Grown Ups

I absolutely loved this book. This is my favorite cozy mystery series. The writing is wonderful, the plot is fun. I love the characters and can picture them vividly. I look forward to each new book with great anticiptation. I haven't had so much fun with a book series since I was a teenager with my Nancy Drews. I hope Ms. Childs that you will continue to grace us with many more Tea Shop Mysteries in the future! 70's Girl
