Gossip in the Gardenias

In Bluejay Ridge, a juicy rumor is usually worth sharing.

This one might be worth questioning.

When whispers begin circling about one of the town's most respected residents, Betty Benino finds herself tasked with putting "the tea" back in the kettle. The trouble is ... no one seems to know where the rumors started, much less whether they're true. Determined to get to the bottom of things before reputations are ruined, Betty follows a winding trail of hearsay, half-truths, and secondhand stories.

After all, spilling the tea is easy.

Putting it back in the kettle is another matter entirely.

The Betty Benino Mysteries can each be enjoyed as a standalone, but the full Betty story unfolds across the series.
