Book 17 in the Tea Shop Mysteries

The thieves disappear almost as quickly as they arrived, leaving shattered glass, scattered gemstones, and a dead body in their wake.

Though the FBI believes this daring "smash and grab" is the work of an international gang of jewel thieves, Theo is convinced that the felon is someone much closer to home...

MY REVIEW
Laura Childs has bagged me again with this fantastic mystery
steeped full of action and intrigue!
Talk about a book starting off with a bang. DEVONSHIRE SCREAM
had me gasping in shock only a few pages in. Seriously, I sat up straighter in
my chair, and remember saying out loud, “No way!”
DEVONSHIRE SCREAM takes the reader through a jewel hyst and
murder, and carries us through as investigation brewing with ever increasing
questions, all leading to an intense conclusion that left me absolutely breathless!
Book after book, author Laura Childs continues to write
brilliant stories in this delightful series. Each new story is fresh,
entertaining, and fun.
Returning fans, and new readers of the Tea Shop mysteries
are in for a wonderful treat with this latest installment.
