Terror in a Teapot - Review by Martha A. Cheves, Author of Stir, Laugh, Repeat; Think With Your Taste Buds; A Book and A Dish
Goldie Silver - Owns an antique shop in Juneau, Alaska Godiva Olivia DuBois - Author of the famous relationship column Ask G.O.D. Caesar - Famous TV chef - or is he? Flossie Silver - Female magician. Sterling Silver - Male magician. Two Ladies from the Russian Orthodox Church - church ladies. Father Innocent - Retiring Priest. Rimsky - Father Innocent's helper. Father Augustine - Priest that will take over for Father Innocent. Two very ugly ladies - Very possibly not 'ladies.' Boris & Igor Dumkovsky - two very mean Russians.
Now, just what can all of these people have in common? Well, Goldie and Godiva are twin sisters. Caesar is Godiva's boyfriend, Flossie is the mother of the twins and Sterling is their father's brother, known to them by the affectionate name of 'Unk.'
But where is the connection between the 'family' members and the other characters? It all has to do with The Seven Deadly Samovars, or Tea Pots if you live in America. It seems the Tea Pots were shipped from Russia to Goldie's shop but were lost in transit. The Church Ladies had ordered one through Goldie as a retirement gift for Father Innocent. When they are finally discovered they seem to live up to their name 'Deadly.' People start dying, Tea Pots start missing and the mystery starts spinning as the twins do a little detective work to track down the missing pots and find the killer or should I say killers.
This book, as all Morgan St. James and Phyllice Bradner books, gives you suspense, humor and a special surprising twist at the end. I can't get enough of their writings and hope they come out with yet another Silver Sisters Mystery very soon.
