Regency wedding breakfast shouldn’t include murder. Particularly not by teapot.
Elinor had hoped for a peaceful honeymoon in the charming seaside town of Brighton.
Instead, she has a murder to solve, a brooding husband to reassure, and her entire family installed in the house in the misguided notion that they are needed to protect her—for it becomes dreadfully clear that the bride was the intended victim. Luckily, Elinor has a sensible plan: disguise herself as her own widowed mother so that she may safely investigate who sent the lethal wedding gift.
But it appears that Elinor’s family is keeping their own secrets. A libertine duke is pursuing her mother—who has unaccountably mislaid her mobcaps—and her brother has befriended a suspicious footman. When Beresford is snatched away in the middle of it all, Elinor must outwit a ruthless killer to save her new husband, her wayward mother, and quite possibly all of Britain.
The Emerald Teapot is the fifth book in the Lady Diviner series, set in a magical Regency Brighton filled with intrigue, farcical disguises, and pocket vampires.
For fans of the wit and chaos of Gail Carriger’s Parasol Protectorate or India Holton’s Wisteria Society.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
