This is an interesting first in a new series. Set in a tea house, the story revolves around a poisoned customer and his murder investigation.
While I wanted to instantly connect with the characters, I had a hard time doing it.
Sometimes I find it easier to reread the first book after I’ve read more on the series .
I will definitely read it again and my stars rating is based on other things than just my initial impression.

Julia Buckley is a wonder writer and it's not hard to devour each book she releases! With this one being the first in a brand new series, I was super excited! I love being able to start a series and grow with it as each book releases. This is one I am certain to be following! The author dishes up a fantastic mystery and some delicious foods/teas. I cannot wait for the next one!

A well written cozy with a different point of view. And was I hungry after I finished the book! This author has several well written series.
