Title: Dump this tea book into the harbor
Product review: A true disappointment from the first two dozen pages, this writer doesn't know enough about having tea to be writing about it, even as a subplot to a mediocre murder mystery. You would think while researching various names of expensive teas to include in the book, she would have also read the proper descriptions for Cream Tea and Afternoon Tea and no, High Tea is not the kind where you eat finger sandwiches and scones. Anyone who knows anything about English afternoon tea knows 'high' doesn't mean 'fancy.' I wouldn't ordinarily be so persnickety about it but if you're going to call a book 'A Tea Shop Mystery' for heaven sake, know something about it!As for the murder mystery? Lacking in suspense, overwritten, and generally boring with a wrap-up at the end that would appall Jessica Fletcher.
