Daisy’s Tea Garden Mystery Series, Book 1

By: Karen Rose Smith

Narrated by: C.S.E. Cooney

Daisy, a widowed mom of two teenagers, is used to feeling protective - so when Iris started dating the wealthy and not-quite-divorced Harvey Fitz, she worried...especially after his bitter ex stormed in and caused a scene at the party Daisy's Tea Garden was catering. Then there was the gossip she overheard about Harvey's grown children being cut out of his will. Daisy didn't want her aunt to wind up with a broken heart - but she never expected Iris to wind up a suspect in Harvey's murder.

Now the apple bread and orange pekoe is on the back burner while the cops treat the shop like a crime scene - and Daisy hopes that Jonas Groft, a former detective from Philadelphia, can help her clear her aunt's name and bag the real killer before things boil over....

Murder with Lemon Tea Cakes

Delightful and charming. Suspenseful with a blossoming sweet romance. Outstanding narrator. Looking forward to the next in the series.

Compelling and uplifting.

Now I want to get back into tea and start baking again! Loved the characters , so endearing and genuine. Can’t wait to read more from this author! Hoping there is more, indeed, about these characters !

Could use some work

The female characters are naïve and hard to believe in. Some of the character voices need work ie daughters. Story could have been much better if lead females were strong instead of whinny, weak Auntie and naive, somewhat obnoxious Daisy. Struggled to get to the end.

Easy Listening

Good company, while driving in traffic! Nice story and nice reader. I enjoyed it very much.

You won't see this one coming

Well developed plot. There are enough twists and turns to keep you guessing. There is enough action to keep it interesting.
