Blue Cat Review
Blue Cat Review rated it 9 years ago
I am a tea drinker, so I was predisposed to like this book and want to read this series, which I do and probably will do. I love the concept of this wonderful group running this cozy tea shop.

Conversely, this is a book I fully intend on recommending to my mom. Full disclosure: it's not good. Like, really not great.

Every chapter started on a completely different setting and a different point of the story and when you finally made your connection to ...

It was a little predictable. Think Murder She Wrote but with a younger red head and tea shop owner instead of mystery writer. IMO it was too unrealistic to draw you in completely and really too lighthearted. I just kept thinking that if this were real life she would have been arrested for obstructio...

One of those cute, 'cozy' mysteries anchored firmly by the charm of their location - in this instance, a tea shop in historic Charleston.

I love Laura Childs other series and of course I decided why not try the tea shop series. I love this series as well as the other. I am going to enjoy learning more about Theo and her shop.
