The guests are serenaded by a Chinese violin as they sample an assortment of tempting bites. And to give them a memento of the occasion, there s even a photo booth. But Theodosia makes a grim discovery behind the booth s curtains: the body of museum donor Edgar Webster.
While Theodosia prefers tea service over the service of justice, this case is difficult to ignore especially after Max becomes a suspect. Now she must examine the life of the fallen philanthropist and find out who really wanted him to pay up
