>2 veatch2014: I drifted away from the Tea Shop Mysteries at about "Oolong Dead." The foodie and tea descriptions were delicious as always, and Drayton Connelly was my very favorite character, but I remember thinking, "How many times can Theodosia go off by herself without telling anyone where she is?" :)

Did you like the plots of the latter ones? Any you'd especially recommend?

>4 gmathis: I had forgotten about Theodosia. I have some of the books so maybe time for a re-read.

>4 gmathis: I keep reading the Tea Shop Mysteries for the tea lore and the Charleston lore, though I stopped following it faithfully and now only pick up sale copies. Great background, unbelievable plots, and Theodosia is dumber than a box of rocks.

It's nonfiction, but a friend visited the Charleston Tea Plantation and sent me a souvenir--My Mother Loved Tea: The Story of Ruth Bigelow. A quick but pretty interesting read.

>7 gmathis: That would be an interesting read because it connects with a name.

Not a recommendation - quite the opposite in fact - but while looking for free books on Kindle I found Tea and Alchemy by Sharon Lynn Fisher, which looked promising. Imagine my disappointment when, after a few pages, it turned out to be a vampire fantasy romance, which is definitely not my cup of tea, if you'll pardon the pun, and I gave up less than a third of the way through. To be fair, it does have a tea shop in it and mentions some teas - Assam, Ceylon, even Lapsang Souchong - but I certainly wouldn't recommend it.

Currently reading Death in a Budapest Butterfly. 1st book in the Hungarian Tea House Mystery series. Lots of talk about Hungarian food.... perhaps it will have some recipes at the end? (reading on Kindle, so not looking ahead to see...)
