Gunpowder Green by Laura Childs (Tea Shop Mystery #2)


Goodreads blurb:


“The Indigo Tea Shop, Charleston’s favorite spot of tea, has just come out with its latest flavor: Gunpowder Green. Theodosia Browning cannot wait to hear its praises as it is unveiled at the annual yacht race. But when she hears the crack of an antique gun meant to end the race, a member of Charleston’s elite falls dead. Theodosia has a hunch that his demise was no accident—and will go out of her way to prove it.”

My Thoughts:



The thrilling sequel of the Tea Shop Mystery books and it really did not disappoint. It had the same cheeky and thrilling concept as the first book, but an even more haunting murder. It was like the first one but with just enough background information to refresh the reader or catch them up if this is the first book they’re reading. The conversation was still sassy between the three workers of the Indigo Tea Shop, but they were determined more than ever to catch the killer. They all become involved in solving the mystery, and lent their own knowledge and expertise when confronted with problems.

This book still had the charming history and location of Charleston’s, it is filled with visits to the historical preservation society, as well as descriptions of the beautiful surrounding areas. Once again I truly enjoyed how the book was written and the character development throughout the story.

Death by Darjeeling by Laura Childs (Tea Shop Mystery #1)


Goodreads Blurb: 

“Theodosia Browning, owner of Charleston’s beloved Indigo Tea Shop, lives in a town steeped in history- and mystery. While catering an event, she is busy serving teas and scones, while an esteemed guest is found dead-his hand clutching an empty teacup. All eyes are on Theo...who is now trying to save her reputation and track down the real killer.”

My Thoughts:
I started reading this series on a recommendation from my mom, we own the entire series, and I figured why not start it now. It’ll be fall soon and what’s nicer than a hot cup of tea on a chilly night. This book was everything I wanted and more. A feel good quick read with mystery, excellent characters, witty banter, and character development. There is plenty of excitement but also a dip into antique and historical Charleston as well. It truly is a wonderful book and I will be definitely reading the rest of the series.
