Trouble Brewing (Tearoom Mysteries #9)
by Susan Page DavisWhen Jan Blake and Elaine Cook arrive at Lancaster Community Church to prepare for the Mother-Daughter Tea, they discover that the historic white clapboard building has been broken into. Have the cousins stumbled on to yet another mystery? At first, it appears that nothing was taken, but it soon becomes clear that something valuable--dating back to the very founding of Maine and part of Pastor Mike's family history--is gone. And then another unusual item, far less valuable, is discovered missing too. Who ransacked the church and took these things? The plot thickens as red herrings sidetrack the sleuthing cousins from their pursuit of clues and, as is often the case when there's trouble brewing in Lancaster, the truth is more surprising and complex than they could imagine. Meanwhile, Elaine's daughter arrives for a visit from Colorado, and the cousins' latest flea market find might very well bring with it a mystery of its own. Mix together one stately Victorian home, a charming lakeside town in Maine, and two adventurous cousins with a passion for tea and hospitality. Add a large scoop of intriguing mystery and sprinkle generously with faith, family, and friends, and you have the recipe for Tearoom Mysteries.
