Book Description:
The Indigo Tea Shop, Charleston's favorite spot of tea, has just come out with its latest flavor: Gunpowder Green. Theodosia Browning cannot wait to hear its praises as it is unveiled at the annual yacht race. But when she hears the crack of an antique gun meant to end the race, a member of Charleston's elite falls dead. Theodosia has a hunch that his demise was no accident--and will go out of her way to prove it. But if she doesn't act fast, Theo will find herself in hot water with some boiling-mad Charlestonians--and more that a little gun-chai...

I read the first three of these books and I really wanted to like them. The tea stuff was quaint, the characters were cute, but eventually the prose and the absolute charming banality of the characters made it all so impossible to read. And I really really wanted to like them.
Also, the recipe for lemon curd in the back of one of the first three is a travesty. TRAVESTY! Do not make lemon curd in a blender with the whole egg -- if you're going to do that, just buy it in a jar from the store.

I enjoyed this second book in the series far more than the first. The characters of Theodosia, Drayton, and Haley seemed better-defined and felt like I could predict what they would say or think a little quicker than I could with the first teahouse mystery.
This is a light, fun, enjoyable little mystery that reads quick and will leave you with a taste for tea.

As always, Laura Childs delivers an enjoyable read as well as tasty recipes!
Kim W. (This is the second book in the series, and it had been a couple of years since I had read the first one. Didn't take long to remember the characters and get back into the setting of the tea shop in Charleston. It is a cute series and one I will continue reading to the end.
I like this tea shop mystery series. Inspires me to drink tea which is good for me and challenges my mind as these aren't just easy fluffy mysteries.
Great 2nd book in the Tea Shop Series, enjoyed very much.
Kylee P. (Don't read it too soon after the 1st one. You may be distracted by some of the proofing goofs.
interesting... the "light" variety of crime novels. set in charleston where the protagonist owns a tea shop. nice descriptions although to me it's slightly "too" precious in style, but if you ignore some of that, interesting. laura childs is also monica wilcott and has a set of knitting novels
2nd in a cozy mystery series. Theo owns a tea shop but dabbles on the side solving murders. Kept me guessing to the end.
Gunpowder Green is the 2nd book in a series of the Tea Shop Mystery. The Indigo Tea Shop owner, Theodosia Browning, is catering a "Tea by the Sea" during a annual yacht race when suddenly a newlywed local man is killed. Great mystery in the style of Laura Childs which I enjoyed just as much as her first mystery, Death by Darjeeling. Enjoyed the story and was not expecting the ending. Look forward to the next book.
Fun read. My first tea shop mystery and it was enjoyable without the other books. Not the most complicated story but I am more interested now about tea.
Bobbie Jo C. (Great story very engaging. I found myself wanting a cup of tea while reading this book.
