Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Tea & Murder!
I really enjoy Laura Child's writing style. Enough detail to paint the scene but no overkill. Like the settings. Mysteries are believable and keep you guessing. A quick read and enjoyable. Prefer her tea novels to the scrapbooking novels.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Shades of Earl Grey
I have enjoyed reading all the books in this series and hope to reread them at a later time.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Mixed feelings about the book
I have mixed feelings about the book. Yes, it's a cozy book; just right for a bit of light reading before going to bed, but as I move through each book in the series, I'm getting increasingly annoyed at Theo the Amateur Sleuth. She seems to operate without regard to official police process, which in real life could potentially jeopardize the police's work.

On the other hand, I like Theo the Tea Proprietor and would love to "visit" her tea shop. I enjoy that she has a dog named Earl Gray, a type of tea. And I also like how the author ties each book's title to a type of tea and to an element of the book's plot. Some of the tea information seems a bit off, but I can be forgiving of that.

On the other hand (my third hand?), I was appalled at how the author ended this story. I'm not talking about the "who" of the who-dun-it (which I guessed early on), but about where the story actually leaves us. It would never happen this way in real life. I'll say no more lest I spoil the story.

I will keep reading the series for the time being, having already bought them all, but I do hope that Theo is less annoying.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Very cozy!
I enjoyed this book more for the setting than for plot, which was very predictable (I had the suspect pegged from the outset). I am drawn to books that take place in the low country of South Carolina, and the author portrayed both the sights and the people in such a wonderful, charming and delightful manner.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Loving Tea and Mysteries in Texas #2
I love Tea...and I love mysteries...and I love Earl Grey...he's the best!
