Now, just what can all of these people have in common? Well, Goldie and
Godiva are twin sisters. Caesar is Godiva's boyfriend, Flossie is the mother of
the twins and Sterling is their father's brother, known to them by the
affectionate name of 'Unk.'
But where is the connection between the 'family' members and the other
characters? It all has to do with The Seven Deadly Samovars, or Tea Pots if you
live in America. It seems the Tea Pots were shipped from Russia to Goldie's
shop but were lost in transit. The Church Ladies had ordered one through
Goldie as a retirement gift for Father Innocent. When they are finally
discovered they seem to live up to their name 'Deadly.' People start dying, Tea
Pots start missing and the mystery starts spinning as the twins do a little
detective work to track down the missing pots and find the killer or should I say
killers.
