Theodosia jumps to lots of conclusions. The murder is, of course, the least suspected and written about person. And, of course, everyone - including Theodosia - is surprised at who the murderer is. In short - the typical tea shop mystery in this series.

I read this series because I adore the characters. But, if you're looking for a heroine who actually solves the mysteries - this is not that book. The actual mystery takes up about 10 pages (scattered throughout the book). The rest is all about teas, foods, socials, antiques, South Carolina, an Charleston. I actually enjoy the latter much more than the mystery itself. I give it 3 stars.

A good book in the series, but not something I'd really call a compelling mystery.
