Twisted Tea Christmas

Tea Shop Mysteries

By: Laura Childs

Narrated by: Barbara McCulloh

An attack on the host of a fancy tea party sends Theodosia Browning looking for answers in the latest entry in the New York Times bestselling series.

Tea maven Theodosia Browning and her tea sommelier, Drayton Conneley, are catering a Victorian Christmas party at a swanky mansion in downtown Charleston. Drucilla Heyward, the hostess, is one of the wealthiest women in town.

As the champagne flows and the tea steeps, Drucilla is so pleased with the reception by her partygoers that she reveals her secret plan to Theodosia. The Grande Dame has brought the cream of Charleston society together to reveal that she is planning to give her wealth away to various charitable organizations. However, before she can make the announcement, Theodosia finds her crumpled unconscious in the hallway. It looks like the excitement has gotten to the elderly woman—except that there is a syringe sticking out of her neck.

Merry Christmas!!

Very enjoyable story line with great descriptions of the variety of teas served during the holidays.
I want to attend several of Theo’s teas!!

Very interesting book

Totally enjoyable read, it was interesting until the very end. I always enjoy these books and this one did not fail to keep me interested.

Kept me engaged and it was a break from work.

I really enjoyed this book. I love the parallel of tea parties and a murder mystery.

S L O W

Both the action and the narration are very slow. I set the narration to 1.2 which helped. Editing would have helped the action flow at a more reasonable pace.
