Silver Needle Murder

"Theodosia Browning and the staff of 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. First up is the opening night gala at the historic Belvedere Theatre. Tinseltown and local luminaries seem to be mingling happily in the glamorously renovated lobby, but Theo notices that the atmosphere backstage is tense. Then famous director Jordan Cole is shot on his way to the podium, and the entire audience witnesses his death silhouetted across the scrim. Never has a festival started off with such a big bang." "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."--BOOK JACKET.Childs, Laura is the author of 'Silver Needle Murder', published 2008 under ISBN 9780425219461 and ISBN 0425219461.
