Baz, Peggy, Carole, and Madge bring new meaning to the phrase 'femme fatale' - they knit, drink tea, and dole out death to keep their community safe.When a distraught drag queen rattles their bones with news of a missing friend, the ladies brush off retirement for the obvious path of action: take down the so-called 'Rainbow Ripper'. With a killer stalking the streets in search of society's most vulnerable, the body count is on the rise - and so is the women's thirst for justice.But with suspects around every corner, Baz and her friends might just be stumped for the first time. Only one thing is certain: the ladies will do whatever it takes to stop the Rainbow Ripper. Including murder ... but only after the tea is finished.All Tea, No Shade and a Bit of Murder is the second book in the Vigilauntie Justice series.

"Escaping intergalactic kidnappers has never been quite so ridiculous. When Lem and her faithful dog, Spock, retreat from the city for a few days of hiking in Algonquin Park, the last thing they expect is to be kidnapped by aliens. No, scratch that. The last thing they expect is to be kidnapped by a bunch of strangely adorable intergalactic bounty hunters aboard a ship called the Teapot. After Lem falls in with an unlikely group of allies, including a talking horse, a sarcastic robot, an overly anxious giant parrot, and a cloud of sentient glitter gas, the gang must devise a cunning plan to escape their captors and make it back home safely. But things won't be as easy as they first seem. Lost in deep space and running out of fuel, this chaotic crew are faced with the daunting task of navigating an alien planet, breaking into a space station, and discovering the real reason they're all there."--Back cover.
