I didn't bother finishing it. It was poorly written, as if the publisher said “Let's corner the tea drinker/mystery market” and picked the nearest person to write. It didn't flow. I will avoid any other themed mysteries like this because they're probably all as poorly written.
This is a cute book and Theodosia Browning is a cute character. I like the Charleston setting, and I like that the story revolves around a tea shop. There was nothing amazing about the mystery or the characters, but it was a fun, light read. I may continue this series in the far future, but not just yet.
I liked this first book quite a bit! The only thing that was weird was the author's use of a character's full name every time she mentioned them. She didn't do it for the main character and the shop employees, but everyone else was always referred to by their first and last name, even within the same paragraph! And the names were unusual so it's not like the reader wouldn't know which Tanner Joseph or Hughes Barrons she was speaking of!
