Search - Shades of Earl Grey (Tea Shop, Bk 3)

Childs veered from her usual 3rd person focusing on Theodosia's thoughts to a 3rd person focusing on many peoples' thoughts. The change was refreshing and different and did a lot to speed the book along. The story, itself, was fun to read. The tea information in this one was fabulous - very, very informative. Also, the recipes in the back are yummy!

Keeps you guessing. I "knew" it was 2 different people... I was wrong. =)

A truly engaging story. Laura Childs really makes the story come to life. She sometimes tells the story from another characters point of view, without being confusing. It really adds to the plot

Another lovely book from Laura Childs! A delightful series-even if you do not like tea! Enjoyable plot,likable characters and no objectionable content!

This is my favorite one, so far, in the series. Finally, the author lets up a little on the touristy information. The previous two books read like a tour guide to Charleston, which became a bit tedious. However, this one had just enough descriptive information, but not enough to overwhelm the story plot.

Theodosia continues to be very likable. In truth, I think I continue to read this series only because I like Theodosia, Drayton, and Hayley so much. In my opinion, these characters far exceed the actual plot line of the book ... which, really, is only OK. It's not the most well conceived cozy mystery. However, the characters do make up for it.

I just finished reading my copy of this book - thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait to read the next one! If you like cozy mysteries and/or drinking tea, you need to check out this series!
