Can't Wait Wednesday #29

This meme is hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings. Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme that spotlights the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they're books that have yet to be released as well. 

This week I am happy to report that Laura Childs has another new novel to be published this year. Peach Tea Smash is expected to be published on August 8, 2024.  In this installment of the Tea Shop Mystery Series our heroine Theodosia Browning is hosting the Mad Hatter Masquerade, a fundraiser hosted by the Friends of the Opera on the grounds of the old Pendleton Grist Mill. Duri g the event Harlan Sadler, husband of Cricket Sadler, the chairwoman, is killed. He’s been hit in the head with a croquet mallet, and his body hung on the chains and paddles of the grist mill. Nobody can figure out why since Harlan was much beloved by everyone. It’s only after Cricket and Delaine beg Theodosia to investigate that she realizes the killer might have mistaken Harlan for his crazy son, Duke. After all, Duke is a slum landlord and recently injured a woman in a boating accident. 

It sounds like another good yarn from Ms. Childs.

  4. Attending an event like the Mad Hatter Masquerade sounds like a lot of fun! Except for the murder part. I haven't tried this cozy series, but I hope to someday. I hope you enjoy Peach Tea Smash when you read it (what a great title!)!
