When wealthy Londoners take over Gloamington, it's time to spill the tea. But that's not all that gets spilled. Murder has a way of ruining every tea party. Hotel Beaufont is hosting the wedding of the century until the bride turns up dead before her vows. Malcolm Fawkes and Ella Bloom find themselves hunting a killer among wedding guests where motives are wrapped in silk gloves and served on bone china. The murdered bride had more enemies than bridesmaids.

Tea maven Theodosia Browning and her tea sommelier Drayton Conneley are guests at a bird hunt styled in the precise manner of an English shooting party. Which means elevenses (sloe gin fizzes), gun loaders, the drawing of pegs, fine-looking bird dogs, and shooting costumes of tweed, herringbone, and suede. But as gunshots explode like a riff of Black Cat firecrackers, another shot sounds too close for comfort to Theodosia and Drayton. Intrigued but worried, Theodosia wanders into the neighbor's lavender field where she discovers their host, Reginald Doyle, bleeding to death.
