Tea'd Off

Search and Rescue Cozy Mysteries, Book 17

De: Patti Benning

Narrado por: Julie McKay

Sometimes what seems like a fine cup of tea…
Can be murder.

It’s early fall, and the weather coincides perfectly with the opening of a local tea house, Chai Froth. Amateur sleuth and Search and Rescue dog trainer, Eve has been a devoted customer of The Granite Mug, but she and Aidan decide to check out the newly opened shop early one morning before work, and they absolutely fall in love with it.

Unfortunately, it seems as though Chai Froth’s early success may be short lived, however, when one of its employees goes missing just days after the shop’s opening. The sheriff asks for Eve’s help when there’s an anonymous report that someone may have hidden a body in a new construction site.

The unfortunate part…is that the location is right next to the house where the owner of The Granite Mug, the tea house’s biggest competitor, lives.

When Atlas locates the victim, Eve fears that either Chloe or her mother, the owners of The Granite Mug, might be responsible for the murder. If not, someone is clearly trying to frame them, and they might be in danger themselves.

Who is the victim? Who might be trying to frame Chloe and her mom, and why? Find out in this exciting canine Cozy Mystery!

I can’t get enough of this series

Ok, this book is super cute. It is centered around a tea shop (hence tea'd off) where an employee, Caleb, goes missing and is found in "not so great conditions".

When Eve sees the flyer for the missing person, she decides to help find this missing person with her cadaver dog Atlas - a 2 year old bicolor German Shepherd. Atlas finds the missing person which prompts an investigation into what transpired. This cozy, fast-paced, small town mystery read weaves through the ins and outs of the investigation and doesn't give anything away until the end. I will admit, I'm not great at solving mysteries, but I didn't really see it coming. When they discovered who the perpetrator was, I wasn't shocked, but I didn't expect it. The author alluded to the traits of this particular character, but sometimes I think authors do that to throw you off, so I didn't pay too much attention to it. This is what makes this book, and the series in general, really fun to read.

Also, I had the pleasure of listening to an advanced copy of the audiobook from BlueNose and what a treat. Julie McKay, the narrator, is a class act narrator. Her tone, inflection, and the emotion in her voice make the audiobook so fun to listen to. Since the book is only 100 pages or so, the audiobook makes you feel like you are watching old reruns of Murder She Wrote. It's super fun to listen to and easy to follow along to when doing errands. I listened to this book on a long run and it made the run go by so fast. The audiobook is a 5 star listen, trust me.
