"Plum Tea Crazy" is the newest in the Tea Shop Mysteries by Laura Childs. Theodosia and Dayton own and operate a tea shop in Charleston and in their spare time they solve mysteries. When Theodosia and Dayton go to a friends party, one of the guests is shot by an arrow, falling off a balcony and landing on a fence spike. There are suspects aplenty. BTW, I have not read any previous books in the series and found it easy to follow.
The book reads much like a 'what if Nancy Drew opened a tea shop' way. Riley, Theo's boyfriend and a detective, for some reason allows her to have confidential information and to go to witnesses to try and solve crimes. Which I would think would get him fired and her to be tampering with a witness, but I guess in fiction when it comes to sleuthing you have to be flexible. Theo goes from suspect to suspect rounding up clues to solve the murder. Though the book doesn't always make much sense and I figured out the murderer quickly; it is well written and enjoyable to read. It is a nice book to read when you have enough stress in your life and just want to enjoy reading. I received this book in exchange for an honest review from First to Read.
