I have to admit I am not really a mystery reader. I read this book because I owed money to the library for a kids book (again), but I really needed something to read and my mom likes mysteries. I snagged this from her library pile.
Therefore, I came into this book without any preconceived notions. It was just what I needed to read. Simple but enjoyable characters. The plot moved quickly, and there were just enough details to complete the story and characters but not so much that I couldn't read it with Barney blasting on the tv in the same room. :)
I liked the main character Theo, although some of the "investigating" she does seems a little far fetched, but there is a mystery that needs to be solved... duh. I really enjoyed the setting and was finding myself fighting a slight desire to go to Charleston to visit.
Lastly, I loved the information about teas and the recipes. I am going to visit my local tea shop to poke around now. I do have a loose leaf tea pot that I should be using. Also while I have read other books with recipes in them, you do not have to be a star on the Food Network to follow these. Simple and normal ingredients. I want to make the raspberry chocolate chip muffins. Yum!
I would definitively would read another book in this series.
