Death by Darjeeling (A Tea Shop Mystery)
First book in Childs' "A Tea Shop Mystery" where we are introduced to Theodosia Browning owner of The Indigo Tea shop in Charleston historical district. We also meet her partners in the shop Drayton, tea master extraordinaire, a sixtyish man who reads gay and Haley, the young baker, eternal student. This first novel takes a long time to get to the core of the mystery and spends a lot of time with exposition, Theo's car, Theo's shop, Theo's hair etc. It drags a bit but the characters are interesting enough in the end.
