National best-selling author Vicki Delany's delightful Tea by the Sea mystery series continues, as Cape Cod tearoom proprietress and part-time sleuth Lily Roberts stirs up trouble when she unwittingly serves one of her grandmother's B&B guests a deadly cup of tea....

Lily has her work cut out for her when a visit from her grandmother Rose's dear friend Sandra McHenry turns into an unexpected - and unpleasant - McHenry family reunion. The squabbling boils over, and soon Tea by the Sea's serene afternoon service resembles the proverbial tempest in a teapot. Somehow, Lily and her tearoom survive the storm, and Sandra's bickering brethren finally retreat to Rose's B&B. But later that evening, a member of their party - curmudgeonly Ed French - dies from an apparent poisoning, and suddenly Tea by the Sea is both scene and suspect in a murder investigation!

Mercifully, none of the other guests fall ill. So it seems, amid the whining and dining, someone snuck up to one of Lily's cherished teapots and fatally spiked Ed's bespoke brew, but who? Was it Ed's long-estranged sister-in-law? Or perhaps the family's feuds have been steeping for longer than anyone realizes? It's up to Lily, Rose, and their friends to get to the bottom of the poisoned pot and bag the real culprit behind the kettle murder plot.

This series would be right up my alley - likable characters, lovely setting, engaging story. But the narration is so irritating that it’s a huge distraction and takes away from the enjoyment of the book. Whether narrative elements or characters, all sound pretty much the same and that is like a teen in whine mode (not that all teens whine but when they do, this is how they tend to sound). It’s grating and will, unfortunately for me, mean I will not get the rest of the series. Huge bummer!

Engaging cozy, irritating narration

But I’d prefer a different narrator. Sometimes a narrator just Isn’t right for a book. But the story itself is so much fun! I figured it out but not until close to the end.

Great story…

I thoroughly enjoyed book one from the series however, the narrator from book 2, changed the identity of the characters. It went from an idyllic Cape Cod setting to Something that was difficult to listen to.

The narrator from the first book in the series was so much better

The storyline was engaging and the mystery kept me thinking. The voice over actor who read the book, Shaina Summerville was absolutely awful. Her male voices were ridiculous and she constantly sounds like an old P.I show. Not authentic and very unenjoyable.

Great story…HORRIBLE voiceover actor!!

The narrator isn't one I enjoy listening to. Her voice /performance were a distraction. Otherwise, an enjoyable book.

love tea
