Theodosia Browning is serving tea at a flower show in Charleston when she and others witness the very sudden and violent death of Mark Congdon, shortly after he bought a very rare and expensive orchid in an auction.
When it turns out that the death was not a heart attack but in fact suspicious, Theo of course has to investigate.
And when shortly afterwards the B & B Mark and his wife owned goes up in flames, the investigation acquires a new urgency.
With no shortage of suspects, Theo has her work cut out for her and only barely escapes this investigation with her life.
Very enjoyable mystery and an easy read.
