Steekpartij best What I liked This series is my favorite as far as cozies go and Laura Childs in my opinion just keeps getting better When you find a combination of themes and characters that work why change it This is a great long lived series that keeps uncovering new and interesting things about not only the characters but about the setting the kinds of murders that can and do occur and everything else involved in making this series great This author knows what readers want to read and she keeps delivering book after book. Stephen king necessary evil In this book the focus shifts a little bit from tea to wine Tea is still a big part of the story but readers get a lot of interesting information about wine as well Myself I never know what wine should go with what main dish and always feel like I m pairing the wrong things together so I enjoyed this tutorial into wine making and thought it was an interesting addition to this series It also made for a great theme A wine related murder just has an edge to it I thought Childs approached this mystery well and pulled readers in quickly with the variation on her normal theme. Steeped in evilzone Charleston is still a big part of this series the setting always takes on a life of it s own This is a remarkable city that is steeped not only in evil for this series but in history and romanticism I think Childs always brings out interesting facts about the history and culture of the city that might remain hidden to most readers I love the fact that Charleston is such a huge part of what makes this series so impressive. Steeped in evils I have to mention the Downton Tea party that Theo and the gang host What a great idea The popularity of that show is phenomenal and Childs really uses it to market her own work I think it was a great idea and now I want to have a Downton Tea of my own I always love all of the tea related facts and things that go on in this series but this was really a highlight. Book steeped in evil book The mystery itself was engaging and full of surprises The winery owners son ends up floating face first in a wine barrel and it s up to Theodosia to figure out who wanted him dead Theo always brings something interesting to each investigation In this one readers find out that the winery was in some financial trouble that may have been grounds for murder I liked the way Childs kept me guessing right up to the end with this one Just when I thought I had I was foiled agaaaaain 320 While Steeped in Evil is the 15th installment of the Tea Shop mysteries I still found it enjoyable and interesting It hasn t lost its flair yet as some long running series tend to do In this edition Theo is attending a wine event just outside of Charleston when the adult son of the winery owner is found dead in a barrel of wine Due to her long history of solving crimes the owner asks Theo to poke around and try to bring the killer to justice. Steeped in eviltron As usual Laura Childs is very descriptive in her setting of Charleston and transports the reader to that city in the South After binge reading the first several Tea Shop mysteries back in 2012 I actually had to go to Charleston on a trip so vivid was my image of the place after reading the books. Pdf steeped in evil pdf As always there are several scenes in the tea shop and the descriptions of the tea and food certainly made my stomach rumble I wish the Indigo Tea Shop existed in real life The mystery is engaged well plotted and gives the reader a bit of a behind the scenes look into the wine industry However I will say that while I wasn t sure I did guess the identity of the bad guy before he was revealed I wasn t sure though and it didn t spoil the book for me. Steeped in evilmilk funny Throughout the series Theo has been something of a serial monogamist and I m starting to see hints that we may see her change love interests again soon Nothing concrete on that front in this book but from the hints dropped I m anticipating that in a future book. Steekpartij beverwijk Although this book is 15 in a series it could be read as a stand alone without any background knowledge really necessary other than knowing that Theo has a rep for solving crimes 320 Once again I have had the pleasure to read another of Laura s books We meet up with Theodosia and Drayton at a wine tasting party All seems to be going well until the son of the host Jordan Knight turns up missing After searching everywhere it is decided to go on with the presentation As Jordan is giving his speech to workers again to tap a large barrel of wine but it doesn t seem to be working The wind is to be sampled by the attendees but instead of only wine the body of Jordan s son is also in the barrel Theodosia and Drayton once again find themselves right in the middle of another murder case What an awful way to die drowning in a wine barrel but wait that s not the cause of death he was also shot As much as Theodosia prefers to stay out of this case she is encouraged by Drayton to help solve the murder as Drayton is good friends with Jordan Knight Theodosia s boyfriend Max also encourages her not to get involved But we all know Theodosia better than that with the help of Drayton and Haley the talented cook and baker she finds herself pulled into the case. Steeped in evilw ending Laura Childs is one of the most talented authors I have had the pleasure to read All of Laura s books seem to enchant me in the first chapter Laura is the author of several series among them Theodosia and her tea shop of which this is her 15th book her scrapbooking mysteries and the Cackleberry Club mysteries It is always such a pleasure to meet up with our old friends in each series There is not much I would rather do than grab a cuppa and sit and visit at the tea shop then take a stroll down the street to get something to eat at the Cacklebury diner and catch up on the gals there And after our appetites are satisfied just a short walk down to visit the ladies at the craft store for scrapbooking supplies I am sure that everyone has read one of his Laura s books and if you haven t now is the time to start 320 My ThoughtsEven though this book is a series book in the Tea Shop Mysteries it is also a stand alone book.

Book steeped in evil pdf Since this is a Tea Shop Mystery I loved the Afternoon Tea Party with the theme Downton Abbey Tea if you are a Downton Abbey fan you will understand Served at the tea wasMrs Pat s Smoked Salmon Sandwiches Lady Crawley s Cucumber Dreams and Mr Carson s Crumpets It made me want to have my own Downton Abbey Tea party As I was reading the story I was imagining Theo as Angela Lansbury of the Murder She Wrote TV series and what a surprise when a character in the book looked at Theo and said And just who do you think you are Angela Lansbury That really made me chuckleThe story moved along quickly keeping me slurping my tea as I was trying to figure out who was the guilty person of all the many suspects But again I was caught by surprise when the guilty one was discovered.

Steeped in evilzone FTC Full Disclosure This book was sent to me by the author in hopes I would review it However receiving the complimentary copy did not influence my review 320 This was an odd book for me and I m not sure why I don t know if it was Theodosia and her crew or if it was my mood while reading it But Theo and Drayton came across to me in this one as pretentious and imperious narcissists who seem to think everyone should just bow to their whims Theo twice goes into an eating establishment and demands to see one of the servers right before meal service Really Doesn t she also run an establishment What the heck And Drayton spends the whole book telling anyone who will listen that Theo is investigating the murder It s a miracle they don t get killed immediately Apparently as a tea shoppe owner and unlicensed PI Theo is the best crime fighter in Charleston and the actual law enforcement officers are all buffoons Then the ending was such a bizarre twist that I was left shaking my head I m going to go back and see if the beginning of this series sets better with me because if the later books are along this vein I m done 320 Theodosia Browning is back in the fifteenth installment of this series The perfect Theodosia Browning with the perfect wardrobe the perfect body the perfect charm the perfect talent the perfect work ethic the perfect friends who happen to be the perfect employees a perfect chef and a perfect tea expert who is also the perfect dresser Theodosia lives in the perfect cottage with the perfect dog and runs a perfect tea shop which serves the perfect menu has the perfect decor and sells the perfect line of bath products which Theodosia herself has created Everything is perfect well except for the body that spills out of a barrel of wine during a wine tasting at a local vineyard a wine tasting which Theordosia happens to be attending Of course Theo is brought in to look into the murder by the vineyards s owner and her friend Drayton After all she is the perfect investigator Theo will indeed catch the killer even if she has to chase the killer down through the streets of Charleston which is absolutely no problem for her as she is the perfect runner Olympic level even It s all just perfect. Literature fiction steeped in evil Unfortunately this is far from a perfect book As a long time reader who loved the series when it began I have become and disenchanted with each recent installment The lead characters have devolved into one dimensional narcissists They have basically no flaws and they know it The language they use often comes off as too old fashioned for their ages Other times it comes off as childish and immature It s as if they vacillate between the ages of seven and seventy The plot line is at many times non existent as it is either bogged down in reinforcing the perfection of the characters or in overly detailed descriptions of the mundanities of life Charleston and the Indigo Tea Shop I used to love the bits that would occur in the tea shop and the description of it all but seriously do we need three separate conversations concerning a single china pattern especially when it s not the only china pattern which will be discussed The plot becomes so chopped that the arc can t help but fall flat Also many of the scenes including the final chase and the last debriefing with the sheriff are so ridiculous that one could laugh if they were in the least bit funny that is What law enforcement officer would sit back and watch the amateur investigators drink the evidence especially after they destroyed one of the few other major pieces of evidence already On top of it all I have to say that I m surprised that the perfect Theodosia was unable to identify the killer sooner especially given she s perfect and the killer s identity was so incredibly obvious from the outset Perhaps Theo isn t so perfect after all Perhaps she could use knocked back a few pegs and put back into the realm of the slightly real fictional character Perhaps that would bring back the charm that was found early in this series but has been lost Perhaps the author could stop with the over indulgence in her characters and over the top descriptions Perhaps the flow of the story of the mystery could actually be restore Perhaps this series could be saved I hope that s true but given the last couple of installments I won t hold my breath 320. Pdf steeped in evil pdf Theo stays busy busy busy But she always finds time to investigate the current murder Each book delivers a cozy read for enjoyable entertainment This one did not really appeal to me as much as the others for reasons I m unable to pinpoint at this time. Steeped in evil mystery thrillers Each book is able to stand on its own and deliver an HEA which is an important attribute in a series when I chose to read it 320 The Tea Shop Mysteries follow Theodesia Browning the young and beautiful owner of a tea shop in Charleston who seems to have a knack for stumbling on dead bodies and getting embroiled in solving the mysteries of their deaths She is aided by the stodgy and proper Drayton her tea master the young and quirky Haley her chef baker while running up against the gruff Detective Tidwell.

Steekpartij emmen com 320 4 stelle e mezza Altra piacevole lettura ma perch alla fine il colpevole quasi sempre coinvolto in qualche modo con l amica un po sopra le righe della protagonista E un altra cosa in questa serie la protagonista gi al terzo compagno ma quest ultimo non mi piace un granch spero quasi che lo molli per qualcun altro 320
