Lindsey Bakewell’s iconic lighthouse bakeshop in beautiful Beacon Harbor, Michigan, is hosting a celebrity cookbook author from the UK—but the notorious diva is now DOA . . . Lindsey’s patrons have a new outdoor patio where they can eat their treats in the glorious summer weather. But even more exciting is that the Beacon Bakeshop is going to host British celebrity chef Vivi Lemonberry—and what could be a more appropriate event than a tea party? What Lindsey didn’t realize is that Vivi is here to put some distance between herself and her recent professional and personal scandals. Despite assurances that Vivi is as sweet as a chocolate-dipped strawberry, Lindsey is cooling rapidly toward the culinary icon . . . especially after she banishes Lindsey’s beloved dog, Wellington, from the bakeshop and then flirts outrageously with Lindsey’s boyfriend. She’s not the only one feeling hostile, though. While Vivi’s in the middle of making a tart in front of the cameras, a woman runs up and slaps her. Soon, Vivi’s nowhere to be found, and folks are speculating on whether she’s run off with her secret lover or just laying low due to embarrassment. That is, until Lindsey finds a body bobbing near the surface of Lake Michigan. It’s a sour ending for the diva, but Lindsey is determined to squeeze the truth out of every clue until she finds the killer . .

In this third a la Russe novel, Natalya Denisova chooses tea as her poisoning method and she decides there will be three victims. Shortly after this decision, three new students arrive at her belly dance studio and try to usurp her position as star performer. After her son Leo brings her a box of Calming Tea from a trip to Chinatown, Natalya introduces the tea to her belly dance class, including the three troublesome women. The students find this tea helps them to focus on their dancing and they continue to drink it. But Leo, who surreptitiously rewrites his mother's books, knows there is always a connection between her literary poisoning method and her real-life enemies. As there are three errant belly dance students and three literary victims, he suspects the combination of Natalya's Evil Eye and the Calming Tea will be the disliked dancers' undoing.
