When a man is poisoned by tea, Theo is the prime suspect. Now she has to prove her innocence and track down the real killer-before someone else takes their last sip. Just the right blend of cozy fun and clever plotting.

Review of 'Death by Darjeeling (A Tea Shop Mystery, #1)' on 'Goodreads'

Clunky writing, boring characters, and romanticizing the glory days of the Old South. Top it all off with a description of a brown man as “a little monkey of a man”. A male character telling a female character that her car was “not particularly ladylike” and asking “ you had to buy red?” confirmed that this was not for me. Stopped about 1/3 of the way through. There have to be better tea shop cozies.
