Why trust an unknown recommendation? Why not choose my own fluff---a story with a female sleuth, who does her own detecting? I love tea. I love Charleston. Laura Childs' "Tea Shop Mysteries" are set in the Indigo Tea Shop in that South Carolina town. I've read the first 14 so #15, Steeped in Evil, is going in my beach bag. Certainly not high-brow reading but it's a book I can read in bits and pieces. I can read it on "my watch" with the napping grands and then easily set it aside when an eagle-eye is needed at the beach.
TEA-tection, a perfect combo word---for the act of detecting by Theodosa, a tea shop owner, when the police detective, Tidwell needs her assistance, whether he admits it or not.
TEA-tection a new genre, "coined" by me, for a book choice that meets my beach needs.
