Here we are once again in the town of Redemption and once again, Charlie has gotten herself in to a predicament. She runs a thriving tea business and this time, it just night land her in jail, or worse.
Cherry is a client of Charlies tea business and regularly buys a blend from her for her skin. After picking up a fresh bag from Charlie, Cherry goes home in anticipation of an exciting night her fiancé Marcus is putting together for them. Cherry is hoping that he's finally decided to set a date. However, that is not what happens. Instead, Cherry passes out and when she wakes she discovers Marcus in the kitchen on the floor, dead. Upon waking she calls Charlie to come over and help her, thinking that her amateur sleuthing skills might come in handy. Cherry has no recollection of anything after drinking the tea and it is soon discovered that her tea had been spiked with roofies.
Unfortunately, there is no shortage of suspects. Amongst Cherry and Marcus there was a group of friends, Lola, Sage, Caleb, and Flynn. They are all suspects. Marcus was also sleeping with Lola and Sage as well as several women around the town of Redemption. He had recently been promoted to a job in Riverview an hour away. Did his philandering have something to do with his murder or was it his promotion, knowing he'd be leaving behind not only his fiancé but his mistresses, hoping to find someone better.
This was another great story, and I cannot wait to get to the next one. I've already preordered it. This is a fast-paced story, and I could not wait to see what was going to happen next. The main characters, Charlie, Pat and Wyle, are old friends, with solid established histories yet every book reveals more about them, and I love how they interact. I wish Wyle and Charlie would get together already though. The mystery of this story is wrapped up well with a satisfying conclusion. You definitely will not be disappointed with this book. I received this book free from Booksirens for an honest review.
