Publisher's Synopsis
When the owner of a local stationary shop known for its whimsical style is found dead behind Four Paws Animal Shelter, it's up to tea shop owner and amateur sleuth Daisy Swanson to find the stone cold killer in the latest installment of Karen Rose Smith's popular Daisy's Tea Garden Mystery series.
When Daisy Swanson arrives at Rumple's Statuary shopping for a birthday present for her beau Jonas, Wilhelm Rumple's cottage looks like something out of a fairy tale, reminding her of the Storybook Tea family event she's planning. Even the man himself-short and stumpy in overalls with bare feet-seems like a storybook character. But as a businessman, Rumple is rumored to be as cold and hard as the statues he sells.
Maybe that's why, following a break-in at his cottage, Rumple is found dead in a dog run behind Four Paws Animal Shelter, bashed in the head. Now it's up to Daisy to get the residents of Willow Creek to spill the tea on a little man who may have had some big secrets, so she can find a stone-cold killer…
