Helpful Score: 1

Another delight book in the 'Tea Shop Mystery' series. Whilst one does not need to have read the previous books in the series to enjoy this one, there are some relationships which develop throughout the series and it would be beneficial to have read the earlier books.

Set in contemporary Charleston, tea shop owner Theodosia is present the night a well-known antiques dealer is murdered at a poetry reading. The dead man lands face down in her almond cake and soon Theo is sniffing around and out to prove that her small business colleague is innocent. Fun to read for the descriptions of Charleston, the wonderful teas served and the recipes in the back of the book make me want to start cooking and baking. A perfect light read for those days when you don't want to read something heavy.
