A Tea Shop Mystery

review 1: Taking a page from my mom's playbook (which makes sense as she gave me the book) this is the first of this series that I've read, and the first of this author. It was a pleasant cozy, I agree with the comparisons to Nancy Drew (every chapter ended on a cliffhanger and she had auburn hair), it was pleasant, the inclusion of Blackbeard's history and legend was interesting. Nothing made me want to go out and buy all of the books of this series, but I will read them if they cross my path.
review 2: The 12th installment of the Tea Shop Mystery series by Laura Childs, "Scones & Bones," is a fun cozy. The 14th book in the series just came out, but I'm a bit behind.The plot focuses on the legend of Blackbeard, following a murder and theft at a Heritage Society show. ... moreTheodosia, Drayton, and even Haley get involved solving the case.Though it's been a year or so since I read the last book in the series, this one seemed to end very abruptly. If I didn't know there were more books in the series since this one was released, I might wonder if this was the last installment. Maybe it just seemed more like a standalone novel, despite featuring the series regulars.Regardless, it's an entertaining read, and I actually learned quite a lot about Blackbeard and the history of South Carolina.**I would give this 3.5 stars rather than 4, but there is no "half star" option and I didn't think it deserved only 3 stars.** less
