A Dark and Stormy Murder!

 

A Dark and Stormy Tea by Laura Childs
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Approaching St. Philip’s Graveyard, Theodosia Browning sees two figures locked in a strange embrace. Wiping rain from her eyes, Theodosia realizes she has just witnessed a brutal murder. While alerting the police, she recognizes the victim as the daughter of her friend, Lois, who owns the Antiquarian Bookshop next door to her own Indigo Tea Shop. Even though this appears to be the work of a serial killer, Lois begs Theodosia for help. Against the advice of her friends, Theodosia launches her own shadow investigation. And arouses the curiosity of a killer.
Laura Childs has done it again. Her writing has transported me to a Charleston, South Carolina tea shop where mystery abounds, and a sleuth struggles to find the truth. Theo is a creative and intelligent heroine who helps her friends when death surrounds them. I love Drayton and Hayley, who whet my taste buds with great food and recipes I want to try. The plot confounded me until the killer was revealed. I will definitely read more from this wonderful series.
