Oolong Dead (A Tea Shop Mystery)

I just love the teashop mystery series by Laura Childs. I've been to that area of the country, bought a Sweetgrass basket from a roadside vendor lady, and breathed in the sumptuous fragrant air. Perhaps that's why I love them so. Who knows. What I do know is I find Laura Childs an authoress who thinks very much like I do and therefore I find her books very easy to read. I've already finished the book! I just received it in my mail on February 23rd or so.

What a delightful summer read! I loved it so much that I am now reading all the teashop mysteries and all are very good. Laura Childs is an excellent author. The teashop mysteries all take place in Charleston, SC where my husband & I live for the winter. It is fun to read about a town and all the sights that you are familiar with and Charleston is such a historical city! I also like the recipes that are in some of the books. Good job, Laura Childs!

Recipes and tea time tips accompany OOLONG DEAD, a powerful survey of a lavish tea which involves the dead body of Theodosia's arch nemesis Abby. A caterer's nightmare comes to life as Theodosia's investigation into Abby's murder leads her to the back rooms of high society and a dark theatre world where anything goes in a wickedly wonderful read recommended for any mystery library.

I finished it in two days excellent read as always looking forward to the next one I have purchased all of the tea shop mysteries

Oolong Dead, Tea Shop Mystery #10, by Laura Childs didn't disappoint this reader. I enjoyed every minute of her latest and it is a keeper. Always interesting to read her tea mysteries, her latest recipes and history information about Charleston and tea products.
