Plum Tea Crazy by Laura Childs
5.0
`Plum Tea Crazy` is a Tea Shop Mystery by author Laura Childs. With a name like Plum Tea Crazy it sounds like a funny story. It is actually a light-hearted, cozy mystery. There is not a lot of blood and guts. It is a who-done-it story and the female protagonist, Theodosia is determined she will find out who did it and why.
It was hard to decide who the real suspect was, the story was written so well. What I liked most about the book is that the second I thought I knew who did it a different character would show up in the story and lead me astray. Halfway through the story I still couldn't figure out who it was. That kept me wanting to read the book.
Some of the characters had unique names that made the reader picture what they looked like. An example, Miss Dimple had a plump five-feet-one-inch body whose whole body went into motion when she laughed. There was also a florist named Floradora.
I learned `receipt` was the old-timey Southern way of saying `recipe` and that griddle scones were a tradition until conventional ovens were invented. There are several recipes to try at the end of the book to try from The Indigo Tea Shop. As well as some Tea Tips if the reader wants to have their own tea party. This title will be available to the public on March 6, 2018.
