tea fans
This was a gift from my brother and sister-in-law. They made me a lovely basket with three mysteries (cat-related, tea-related, and Poirot), lots of tea, a pretty mug and matching coasters! It's my first "cozy" novel, as I am more of a classics kind of girl. I honestly didn't care "who done it", but I loved all of the tea talk! :) I also happen to be going to Charleston (where the novel is set) for Thanksgiving, so it'll be neat to see the town after having read about

I wanted to like this more than I did. There was a lot of info about teas, but overall, the characters didn't really grab me. It was okay, but I found myself skimming to try and find something that pertained to the actual crime, and that's never a good sign for a good mystery.

Another one of her tea shop mysteries, which are cute. At a Charleston sailing race, a man is killed when he fires an antique gun. Theodosia, the owner of the tea shop, lauches her own investigation when it seems the cops aren't getting anywhere.

I found the tea jokes a little bit heavy handed and the characters flat. It is a perfectly okay little mystery, butnot one with much depth. I probably would not buy another or track it down through the library.

After reading the second in the Tea Shop Mysteries, I have decided I really must get to Charleston one day. And I've started buying lots of tea to drink while I continue reading this series.

I chose the book for the setting: Charleston, SC. The plot was mediocre and the characters mildly interesting. Lots of info about tea though, if you are into it.

beach and hammock readers
Second in the "tea room" mystery series, set in Charleston, SC. A nice, mindless summer hammock read!

Don't read it too soon after the 1st one. You may be distracted by some of the proofing goofs.

Second in the Tea Shop series, it is just as entertaining as the first.
