And against her better judgment, Lily Roberts is entering \u003ci\u003eAmerica Bakes!\u003c\/i\u003e with her charming tearoom, Tea by the Sea. Filming is already proving disruptive, closing the tearoom during Lily’s busiest season. But tensions really bubble over when infamous bad-boy chef and celebrity judge, Tommy Greene, loses his temper with Lily’s staff, resulting in an on-camera blowup with Cheryl Wainwright. Just as Lily thinks the competition can’t get more bitter, Tommy is found dead in Tea by the Sea’s kitchen . . . murdered with Lily’s rolling pin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSuspicion immediately falls on Cheryl, but the temperamental star has racked up plenty of culinary clashes in the past, both on- and off-screen. And nearly anyone associated with Tommy or the show could be the killer: be it one of Lily’s fierce competitors, a member of the beleaguered film crew, or even one of Tommy’s fellow judges—struggling cookbook maven, Claudia D’Angelo or beauty contest winner, Scarlet McIntosh. Now, while she’s baking up a storm for the show, Lily must also whip up an impromptu investigation . . . before the murderer rolls someone else away.\u003cb\u003ePraise for the Tea by the Sea Mysteries by Vicki Delany\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e “Find a comfy chair, raise a cup of fragrant, freshly brewed tea to your lips, and settle down for murder and mayhem in a mystery novel set in a tearoom for a delightful form of armchair travel.” \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e—TeaTime Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e on The Tea by the Sea Mysteries\u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e “Details about tea, baking, and running a tea shop and bed-and-breakfast are woven throughout a satisfying cozy with a \u003cbr\u003e beautifully described setting and a cast of charming, small-town characters.
