Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:

Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Great to read with a cup of tea.
I loved this book because the author took time to flesh out the main character. The main character is not simply someone who accidently stumbled across a mystery, but someone who cares to know why someone was murdered.

The mystery was okay. Not quite an Agatha Christie, but certainly reminiscent of one.

This is the second Tea Shop Mystery. I look forward to reading the subsequent one in the series.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Great Series
A very enjoyable story with great characterizations. If anyone wants to read a new cozy series this is it. Take a chance and you won't be disappointed!!



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Loving Tea and Mysteries in Texas #1
I love tea...I love mysteries...and I love the recipes at the back!



Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - One-Dimensional Writing
I've tried to give these books a fair chance. I like the Charleston setting and there are some good recipes in the back of the book if you enjoy tea. However, the writing gets in the way. All of the books in this series contain sentence fragments and don't seem to have been proofread. The characters are one-dimensional. They are not likeable. Theodosia is a busy-body, and comes across as an arrogant know-it-all who really has an issue about competing with the police and obstructing justice. Haley is irritating beyond belief. Drayton seems to be the only regular who is not obnoxious. The plots are silly. I would probably go to the library and page to the back of the book for the recipes but would not waste the time and money reading these



Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - Great Cover, Poorly Written...
Previous reviewers have already pointed out this book's many shortcomings. Let me add to the list with my biggest beef: about a fourth of the way through the book the author reveals who the murderer was in her previous book, "Death by Darjeeling" - which is a HUGE no-no for mystery writers. Did Childs ever stop to think that maybe someone might, as I did, read the second book before the first? That seems like a real no-brainer to me...
