More Tea with Your Murder?

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!
