Intrigued but worried, Theodosia wanders into the neighbor\'s lavender field where she discovers their host, Reginald Doyle, bleeding to death. \r\n\r\nHis wife, Meredith, is beside herself with grief and begs Theodosia and Drayton to stay the night. But Theodosia awakens at 2:00A.M. to find smoke in her room and the house on fire. As the fire department screams in and the investigating sheriff returns, Meredith again pleads with Theodosia for help. \r\n\r\nAs Theodosia investigates, fingers are pointed, secrets are uncovered, Reginald\'s daughter-in-law goes missing presumed drowned, and Meredith is determined to find answers via a séance. All the while Theodosia worries if she\'s made a mistake in inviting a prime suspect to her upscale Lavender Lady Tea. \r\n\r\nINCLUDES DELICIOUS RECIPES AND TEA TIME TIPS!
