This weekend I finished a light murder mystery. Scones & Bones, Tea Shop Mystery # 12, has been sitting in my stack for a while. I have been a long-time fan of this series by Laura Childs having read them all. Agony of the Leaves, book 13, will be available tomorrow.
As with all the Tea Shop Mysteries, Scones & Bones is set in the Historic District of Charleston. Along with sponsoring benefits and promoting the art and culture of Charleston Theodosia runs a highly successful tea shop. Theodosia and her master tea blender, Drayton, are always nearby when a crime occurs. Despite urgings and scoldings from Detective Tidwell Theodosia just can't help getting involved.
In Scones & Bones the mystery centers around a pirate gala, the skull of Blackbeard the Pirate which was fashioned into a cup, clues to Blackbeard's treasure, a murder and a kidnapping. Childs also offers up thematic tea party ideas and some yummy recipes providing something for everyone. Grab a cup of tea. This is a perfect day to indulge in a murder and a cuppa!
