Book Description
The murder of a political bigwig at a Honey Bee Tea sends Theodosia Browning buzzing for answers in this latest installment of the New York Times bestselling series. Theodosia’s Honey Bee Tea was an elegant affair set in Charleston’s new Petigru Park amid newly planted native grasses and a community beekeeping project. But when a phony beekeeper shows up and sprays toxic smoke at the guests, the party erupts in chaos. Worse yet, a shot rings out and Osgood Claxton III, candidate for state legislature, falls to the ground—dead. Holly Burns, the gallery owner who asked Theodosia to cater the tea, is understandably heartbroken. A man is dead, her guests are angry and injured, and the paintings that were on display are left in tatters. When the police don’t seem to have a clue, when old-line politicos don’t want questions asked, Holly begs Theodosia to run a shadow investigation and help restore her gallery’s good name. Between hosting a Wind in the Willows Tea and a Glam Girl Tea, Theodosia questions everyone that had a bone to pick with Claxton. This includes Booker, an angry outsider artist; Lamar Lucket, Claxton’s political opponent; and Mignon Merriweather, the dead man’s soon-to-be ex-wife. But the investigation becomes a political hot potato following a second murder, the revelation of a messy affair, a chase through a swamp, and a vandalized shop.

Book Description
The Teenage Mafia Book 2 is another jewel on the book industry. Book 2 is an action packed thriller. It has a lot more venom than Book 1. After Lewis survived three shots from Redd, he wanted to make Redd along with his gang vanish. Lewis persuaded Steven to allow their crew (The Teenage Mafia) to join forces with C-Loc and his 6 St. gang. DL and Redd were already at war with C-Loc; then Steven and Lewis came along and added more destruction to a brutal battle. Lewis thought collaborating with The 6 St. gang was the perfect move because C-Loc had a small army and he hated Redd too. The envy these guys had for each other led to a school shooting, a brawl that took place at a mall, and more senseless killings. Their war became a chess game with real pieces. Read and find out which crew will capture their opponent's king and say the most honorable thing, CHECKMATE. Eric found himself in another love triangle and this time he fought his best friend Steven over his girl friend Honey. After Honey seduced Steven, he winded up sleeping with her. She recorded the sex and sent Eric some footage on his cell phone. Honey wanted sweet revenge because she discovered his sex tape made behind her back. Immediately, Eric wanted Steven dead. He decided to get some help from his untrustworthy cousin Redd. Redd had more beef than a bowl of soup. Redd and Lewis competed some more over Tammy. Tammy was confused about which guy she really wanted. Her feelings for Redd were stronger than what she would admit. Redd went all out trying to erase Lewis. While Steven was not fooling around with Honey, James's mother Zenobia caught his eyes. She found out about her son's involvement in The Teenage Mafia. Zenobia forced Steven to pull off a few robberies and bring her the prizes. Zenobia threaten to call the Police if he didn't do what she said. Steven fell in love with Zenobia; he was fascinated with her looks and sophistication. The 35 years old Zenobia was also falling in love with him-but she was unsure about going out with an 18 years old man.

It’s Lights, Action, Murder as tea maven Theodosia Browning scrambles for clues in this latest installment of the New York Times bestselling series. When Theodosia Browning reads the tea leaves on the set of the movie, Dark Fortunes, things go from spooky to worse. Lights are dimmed, the camera rolls, and red hot sparks fly as the film’s director is murdered in a tricky electrical accident. Or was it an accident? Though the cast and crew are stunned beyond belief, nobody admits to seeing a thing. And when Theodosia’s friend, Delaine, becomes the prime suspect, Theodosia begins her own shadow investigation. But who among this Hollywood cast and crew had murder on their mind? The screenwriter is a self-centered pot head, the leading actress is trying to wiggle out of her contract, the brand new director seems indifferent, and nobody trusts the slippery-when-dry Hollywood agent. Between hosting a Breakfast at Tiffany’s Tea, a Poetry Tea, and trying to launch her own chocolate line, Theodosia doggedly hunts down clues and explores the seemingly haunted Brittlebank Manor where the murder took place. And just when she’s ready to pounce, a Charleston Film Board member is also murdered, throwing everything into total disarray. But this clever killer will go to any lengths to hide his misdeeds as Theodosia soon finds out when she and her tea sommelier, Drayton, get caught up in a dangerous stakeout.

ISBN: 0307485137
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
Everyone who's anyone in the Harlem music scene has heard of Honeybee McColor and the famous Friday night gathers that fill her house to bursting. In the early 1960s, nowhere but "The Big House" attracts so many renowned jazz and blues musicians—and no one but Miss Honeybee attracts talented lost souls like Forestine Bent and Viola Bembrey. The two singers come from separate worlds: one the Brooklyn projects, the other the Baptist, rural South. One has a God-given voice and the ambition to be a star, the other a more subtle gift and a handful of hazy fantasies. But both learn the destructive consequences of following their hearts. They find sanctuary together under Honeybee's tender guidance, struggling to find the balancing point where music doesn't overpower love. Including a passel of characters both wildly raunchy and remarkably dignified, Andrea Smith has woven an unforgettable tale overflowing with energy, heart, and humanity.

The Entremés for Performance
Author: Kerry Wilks
Publisher: Liverpool University Press
ISBN: 1835533124
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 417
Book Description
This bilingual anthology brings together a collection of Spanish entremeses, the comic interludes that were performed between the acts of a comedia. Penned by authors such as Lope de Rueda, Cervantes, Calderón, Quevedo, and Quiñones de Benavente, many of these plays appear here for the first time in English. Translated for performability, these plays create a panoramic view of one-act plays from Spain’s classical theater period. Presented with discussions of dramaturgical and performance possibilities and difficulties, including relevant historical, cultural, and social information for the plays, the collection opens with two precursors to the entremés, moves through the breadth of the entremés form, and concludes with works from the 18th century, including a sainete. There are also examples of trans-adaptation that show how these works can be interpreted through strong directorial concepts that relocate the plays in historical time and location. The selected titles raise challenges to social mores and expectations, surprise with their humor, and delight with their stagecraft. Whether aimed at the classroom or the stage, the collection is valuable for research, pedagogy, and performance.
