Agony Of The Leaves: Tea Shop Mystery #13 (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
Early-bird traffic meandered up Church Street, then made a small semicircular detour around St. Phillips, the landmark church that blipped out into the street, giving Church Street itswell-deserved moniker. Wisps of pink-and-white parfait clouds scudded across the sky, heralding the start of another lovely and warm spring day, and a faint whiff of sea air wafted in as the Chowder HoundRestaurant and Cabbage Patch Gift Shop geared up for business withwell-placed sidewalk placards advertising their specials. But down the block, inside the Indigo Tea Shop, Theodosia sat at a small wooden table, feeling morose and a little lost. It didn’t seem possible that Parker was gone. He was young, a couple of years younger than she was. And the last time she’d seen him, at a chamber music concert two weeks ago, he’d seemed bursting with life. So who’d been in his office? Well, according to Chef Toby, there’d been a veritable parade of people over the past couple of days. Vendors, commercial real estate agents, possible business partners, bankers, his new girlfriend.
