Review: This is number eleven in a mystery series about a lady called Theodosia who runs a tea and cakes shop in Charleston, with a southern flavour. I liked some of the early books such as Gunpowder Green, Death by Darjeeling and Shades of Earl Grey, but by now we might wonder why this lady is such a murder magnet. Daria who owns the map store is found strangled in the alley and just possibly, someone mistook her for Thea. Alternatively the map store had been receiving attention from an unwanted source - a potential buyer - and Daria had refused to sell. In tough economic times it's hard to see this being a serious motive. Plus there was a rare map Daria had refused to sell to a suspicious buyer. Thea is hoping to buy a cottage near some woods and her dog Earl Grey digs up what looks like a human leg bone... but the police seem fairly relaxed and say even if it's so, that happens a lot as there is a lot of history in the area. Driving with a pet loose in the car is not recommended; Thea finds out why when she is in a crash and the dog gets thrown around. Pets should be in a crate or carrier. The Heritage Society again features but Thea has only her own sleuthing to blame for finding herself in danger at the last. Gingerbread scones stuffed with walnut and apple, and milky vanilla tea, are served up among other signature delights of this series. While I often wish foodie mysteries had healthier recipes, at least these are not too sugary and often include fruit and nuts.
