In Pennsylvania’s Amish country, Daisy Swanson has a tea shop to run, a daughter to marry off—and a murder to solve . . .   Daisy’s worried one of her employees at Daisy’s Tea Garden may be in a spot of trouble. Lately Karina’s been loading up on soup and second-day baked goods at the end of her shift—and while the shop’s scrumptious treats may be hard to resist, Daisy suspects there’s more going on, especially since Karina has been seen hanging out in a rundown part of Willow Creek.   Planning her own daughter’s wedding is enough to keep her busy, but Daisy can’t help feeling a protective maternal instinct—and an instinct to investigate. It turns out Karina has been helping a down-on-his luck single dad who’s been making ends meet—barely—by selling antiques at a place called Pirated Treasures.   But when an employee at the antiques store is bludgeoned to death with a marble rolling pin, Karina’s new friend is suspect number one. Though the motives are muddy and steeped in intrigue, Daisy is more than determined to flush the real killer out.   Includes delicious recipes! " Daisy's Tea Garden Mysteries are always engrossing with lots of unknowns plus distinctive characters, and the fourth book definitely caused me to remain intrigued during every situation that crops up." A. Richard alwaysreviewing.com   I grew up in the Susquehanna Valley in Pennsylvania and often made visits to Lancaster County.  This area is rich with history, quilts, unique food, and beautiful hand-crafted furniture.  I chose this setting with the fictional town of Willow Creek for my Daisy's Tea Garden series. I also wanted to incorporate a sense of family.  My sleuth Daisy is a widow with two teenage daughters.  Daisy and her Aunt Iris are partners in running the tea garden.  I hope you find Daisy's Tea Garden a cozy place with warmth, soup and baked goods that you want to visit often.  Watch for book 5 in my Daisy series in 2020,  Murder With Clotted Cream.  *** Caprice De Luca Home Staging Cozy Mystery series by USA TODAY Bestselling author KAREN ROSE SMITH*** STAGED TO DEATHDEADLY DECORGILT BY ASSOCIATIONDRAPE EXPECTATIONSSILENCE OF THE LAMPSSHADES OF WRATHSLAY BELLS RINGCUT TO THE CHAISE Also watch for Karen Rose Smith's contemporary novels, each with a different twist, in her Search For Love series in ebook, print and audiobook.
