I've finished "Sweet Tea Revenge" the 14th book in her Tea Shop series by Laura Childs.
Product Description
In the latest novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Agony of the Leaves, Indigo Tea Shop owner Theodosia Browning may always be a bridesmaid, never a bride, but this groom is never going to make it to the altar.
Theodosia Browning’s dear friend, Delaine Dish, has asked her to be a bridesmaid for her wedding. But when the big day arrives, everything seems to be going wrong. First, a massive storm is brewing over Charleston. A bad omen? Second, Delaine’s maid of honor is late for the ceremony. And finally, the groom not only has cold feet — his whole body is cold. A murderer has crashed the wedding.
As Theodosia comforts a devastated Delaine, she needs to sort out the suspects on the groom’s side from the suspects on the bride’s side. One thing soon becomes apparent — revenge won’t be the only dish served cold at this wedding. And if Theodosia doesn’t watch her step, a cold-blooded killer may have a rude reception in store for her.
INCLUDES DELICIOUS RECIPES AND TEA TIME TIPS!

My Review:
Indigo Tea Shop owner Theodosia Browning is a bridesmaid for her friend Delaine Dish's marriage to attorney Dougan Granville. The wedding day has arrived but the groom is missing so Theo goes to get him but finds him dead with an unknown powder around him. It is soon known that it was not an overdose but a homicide.
Detective Burt Tidwell arrives and Delaine becomes the prime suspect. Delaine asks Theo to do a little detecting and soon ghost hunters Jed and Tim Beckman arrive at Ravencrest to film a segment for their show Southern Hauntings. They are extremely happy to hear that a death has occurred because they believe it will help them make contact with the spiritual contact.
Max Theo's boyfriend makes an appearance and they seem solid but she seems to be noticing a P.I. who she thinks is attractive. Hmm not really like her at all!
I find it quite funny when she goes investigates and she runs into trouble or things happen to her.
I love the yummy recipes at the end with suggestion for staging your own tea parties.
3.5/5
