In the latest installment of the Tea Shop Mystery series, Theodosia finds herself on the set of a movie called, Dark Fortunes. Reading the tea leaves is her easiest task, but now she must find out if the death of the film’s director is actually an accident or a real murder.
I absolutely love coming back to this world. Reading about Theodosia and Drayton always puts a smile on my face. There’s just something very comforting about their friendship and I have always loved Theodosia’s way of thinking. She’s never too rash, but she’s interesting enough that the book never feels too slow-paced or boring.
We have Laura Childs’ writing to thank for that. Out of all the Cozy Mystery authors out there, I have to say that my favorite is Laura Childs. I love how she unravels the story and mystery a bit at a time and keeps readers on their toes until the very end.
If you’re looking for a fun cozy mystery, I would highly recommend this one. There are so many amazing books already in this series and MURDER IN THE TEA LEAVES is no exception. Laura Childs’ Tea Shop Mysteries series is a definite must-read!
It’s Lights, Action, Murder as tea maven Theodosia Browning scrambles for clues in this latest installment of the New York Times bestselling series.
When Theodosia Browning reads the tea leaves on the set of the movie, Dark Fortunes, things go from spooky to worse. Lights are dimmed, the camera rolls, and red hot sparks fly as the film’s director is murdered in a tricky electrical accident.
Or was it an accident? Though the cast and crew are stunned beyond belief, nobody admits to seeing a thing. And when Theodosia’s friend, Delaine, becomes the prime suspect, Theodosia begins her own shadow investigation. But who among this Hollywood cast and crew had murder on their mind? The screenwriter is a self-centered pot head, the leading actress is trying to wiggle out of her contract, the brand new director seems indifferent, and nobody trusts the slippery-when-dry Hollywood agent.
Between hosting a Breakfast at Tiffany’s Tea, a Poetry Tea, and trying to launch her own chocolate line, Theodosia doggedly hunts down clues and explores the seemingly haunted Brittlebank Manor where the murder took place. And just when she’s ready to pounce, a Charleston Film Board member is also murdered, throwing everything into total disarray. But this clever killer will go to any lengths to hide his misdeeds as Theodosia soon finds out when she and her tea sommelier, Drayton, get caught up in a dangerous stakeout.
