LAVENDER BLUE MURDER is book twenty-one in the Teashop Mystery series. It’s by far the best series that Laura Childs has written, and in this book, she proves why she is such a powerhouse writer.

The main protagonist, Theo, and her tea sommelier, Drayton, are invited to attend a bird hunt. However, as the shots are fired, a cry is heard, and Theo and Drayton run to check what happened. To their horror, they discover their host, Reginald, on the ground and bleeding.

With a second murder attempt happens, this time targeting, Reginald’s wife, Meredith, Theo knows something else is going on. She uses her intelligence and gut to figure out what happens. With several other plot lines in the story, this book made for a really interesting and fast-paced read.

I truly enjoy Laura Childs's writing style because although many things are happening, there is a clarity to everything she writes. She leaves the clues out for the reader, but doesn’t make things too obvious so that it’s easy to guess. I love the characters in this series, even if they only play a small role in the overall story. And I’ve discovered that Theo’s character continues to grow with each book that comes out.

As one of my favorite Cozy Mystery series, you definitely don’t want to miss out of LAVENDER BLUE MURDER. Laura Childs delivers an epic mystery every time!
