This is the 17th novel in this excellent series, The Tea Shop Mysteries, and it most certainly did not disappoint me as to quality of the storyline, nor exciting crime scenes, nor fabulous foods with the added luxury of recipes, and characters that stay in character which leads to my being able to say that this series is one of my favorites. Theodosia Browning, owner of Charleston, South Carolina's 'Indigo Tea Shop' has to step up her crime solving abilities in order to find justice for one of her favorite persons, Brooke Carter Crockett. Now, I'm not going to describe too much of this book's action as that would truly spoil the reader's personal reactions to the very clever crime scene and events. I will say that I found myself startled and reading faster and faster as the tale unfolded. The puzzle of the 'who dun it' was intriguing and there were many red-herrings presented for the reader's own deliberations. Again I found myself having turned many pages before I realized I was reading at a very quick and smooth pace. The ending was every bit as exciting as the beginning and thoroughly satisfying. In-between the tale was a gentle cozy murder mystery filled with luscious foods and equally compelling teas. The friendships of Theodosia, Haley, and Drayton remain strong and draw the reader into their personal group. Interesting new characters were introduced and lead to new possible directions for what I hope will be many more volumes. This is a true cozy murder mystery. All the elements are present to make a great reading journey for you to take. Five stars just doesn't seem enough, however, that is what I'm allowed and I give all with my full approval. Read more
