"Berkley Prime Crime mystery"--Spine.
Scarlett Parker and her British cousin, Vivian Tremont, are hard at work at Mim's Whims, their ladies hat shop on London's chic Portobello Road, to create hats for an Alice in Wonderland themed afternoon tea, a fund raiser for a local children's hospital. It seems like a wonderfully whimsical way to pass the hat, and Scarlett and Viv are delighted to outfit the Grisby family, the hosts who are hoping to raise enough money to name a new hospital wing after their patriarch. Unfortunately, the Grisby heir will not live to see it, he's been poisoned. When traces of the poison are found on the hat Scarlett and Viv made for him, the police become curiouser and curiouser about their involvement. Now the ladies need to don their thinking caps and find the tea party crasher who's mad enough to kill at the drop of a hat.

Excellent sequel submitted by ValerieL on June 25, 2019, 11:55am Sometimes when you start a new series and you're thrilled with the first book, you wonder if the 2nd book is going to live up to the expectations you have. This one did, completely. In fact, there were so many red herrings that I never did figure out who the villain was until it was revealed. Add to it fun and quirky characters and you have a great cozy mystery to read!
