"LEMON CURD KILLER is definitely a hit!"

Fresh Fiction Review

Lemon Curd Killer

Mystery Amateur Sleuth

Laura Childs doesn’t play around with LEMON CURD KILLER, the 25th book in the Tea Shop Mystery series. This time, Theodosia is hosting a Limon Tea party. However, when the fashion designer ends up dead, things get serious as her daughter asks Theodosia to find the killer.

I’ve always enjoyed the way Childs writes her stories because she doesn’t wait to get to the good stuff. Within the first few pages of the book, she dives right into the mystery and the first murder, which then sets the pace for the rest of the book. Expect lots of interesting hints and a fast pace with this book. I think many readers will enjoy this one due to the lemon orchard theme and the fashion fusion it has. It definitely kept me reading all through the night.

Normally, the main heroine sticks out to me often in these Cozy Mystery novels. But Theodosia’s tea sommelier, Drayton, is always fun to read about as well. I think that’s why I find myself coming back to this series again and again. There are a lot of fun and interesting characters in the main cast and the secondary cast, so there’s a lot to love.

LEMON CURD KILLER by Laura Childs is definitely a hit! You definitely don’t want to miss out on this one!

SUMMARY

High tea and high fashion turn deadly in this latest installment of the New York Times bestselling series.

Tea shop entrepreneur Theodosia Browning has been tapped to host a fancy Limón Tea in a genuine lemon orchard as a rousing kickoff to Charleston Fashion Week. But as fairy lights twinkle and the scent of lemon wafts among the tea tables, the deadly murder of a fashion designer puts the squeeze on things.
 
As the lemon curd begins to sour, the murdered woman’s daughter begs Theodosia to help find the killer. Tea events and fashion shows must go on, however, which puts Theodosia and her tea sommelier, Drayton Conneley, right in the thick of squabbling business partners, crazed clothing designers, irate film producers, drug deals, and a disastrous Tea Trolley Tour.
 
INCLUDES DELICIOUS RECIPES AND TEA TIME TIPS!
