The English Breakfast Murder

While volunteering with a sea turtle protection group, Theodosia Browning is swept into a murder investigation in this cozy New York Times bestselling series.

It is a truly exhilarating experience for Indigo Tea Shop owner Theodosia Browning—helping Charleston's Sea Turtle Protection League shepherd hundreds of tiny green loggerheads safely into the sea. But just as she's about to celebrate all her hard work, she spots a dead body bobbing in the waves. It turns out to be local art dealer Harper Fisk—a man with an eye for fine antiques. Could his death have anything to do with the sunken treasure and gold bullion rumored to be somewhere near the beach? It's up to Theo to get to the bottom of the murder before the culprit's greed stirs him to kill again.
