Overview
In Steeplechase, the tea is hot, the coffee is strong, and the family secrets are toxic.Madison "Beans" Perkins hoped the only thing steaming at the Steeplechase Botanical Gardens' "Mother's Day Tea & Tour" would be her signature Hazelnut Silk coffee.

The suspect list is longer than the buffet line: a downtrodden son facing disinheritance, a daughter-in-law with a secret herbal laboratory, and a mysterious stranger with a familiar jawline.With the help of Mavis, who is currently weaponizing a garden gnome, Madison must weed out the killer before they strike again. But in a family where money is the root of all evil, Madison might find that the poison didn't fall far from the tree.Come for the coffee, stay for the chaos. The Aromatic Alibis series continues with a blend of mystery that's good to the last drop.
