Bøker i Tea by the Sea Mysteries-serien

"In the first of this ... new cozy mystery series from nationally bestselling author Vicki Delany, a New York City expat-turned-Cape Cod teashop owner must solve the murder of a local real estate developer to help her feisty grandmother out of a jam"--Publisher's description.

"Members of the Reynolds and Hill families are staying at Lily's grandmother's bed and breakfast, and now they've gathered at Tea by the Sea to sip some delicious blends while they shower bride-to-be Hannah Hill with presents. But the last package Hannah unwraps contains a beheaded Raggedy Ann doll and triggers a bloodcurdling scream. A doll like this was the last gift from her father before he died long ago, and she's chilled to the bone. Lily senses that the shocking anonymous gift just might be related to other tensions she's picking up on. The mothers-in-law have been sniping at each other--and then Lily, out walking her dog, overhears the groom's father Ralph offering his son a very sizable bribe to call off the wedding. She's relieved when Greg angrily turns him down, but with so many people steamed at each other, can this event possibly go smoothly?"--
