Title: Death by Disinterest
Review: I love mysteries, lived in Charleston for six years, and am a card carrying member of the Counter-Coffee Tea Revolution, so I was thrilled to discover this book. For about three pages.I found it boring, badly written, and apparently unedited. (If it were edited, then the editor who allowed the sentence, "Ever the social butterfly and fashion maven, Samantha was fetchingly attired in a flouncy cream-colored silk skirt and pale peach cashmere sweater, generously scooped in front to reveal her matching peach skin and ample endowments," should look for a new vocation.) Ms. Childs is long on description, addicted to adjectives, and frequently includes digressions on tea that rival Melville's on whaling in Moby Dick.It was useful to learn, however, that I've been oversteeping Darjeeling for years.
