Once again, Karen Rose Smith has delivered a great story-line! Daisy's Tea Garden sounds like the perfect stop on a vacation trip - but don't dally too long or you might find yourself involved in a murder! Daisy has a knack for tracking down the clues to determine who the real culprit is, but not before she finds herself in some hot water with the local police - and maybe even some close calls with the murderer! Grab yourself some tea, maybe a pastry, and get ready to become involved in the activity at the Tea Garden!

With her very popular flavor of the month and special events planned at Daisy's Tea Garden, Daisy Swanson has more on her plate than usual. Her daughter Vi is getting married to another of the tea garden's employees and moving in to a newly configured apartment over Daisy's garage. Her younger daughter, Jazzi, has been trying to adjust to finding her birth mother and discovering if there is a way she can fit into that woman's present family. Daisy finds herself in the attention spotlight more often than she is comfortable with, and discovers male friend Jonas may be showing signs of jealousy.
Together, she and Jonas have been helping a new friend, discovered living in a van, make a fresh start, when he, Keith, becomes a murder suspect in the eyes of a former rival to Jonas.
Plenty of directions to keep the readers' focus as Daisy once again dives into an investigation to clear her new friend's name.
The settings are alive with history and brought deliciously to colorful life as the action flows between the tea garden, various antique shops and wedding preparation venues. Will the mother of the bride survive to be escorted down the aisle? Can she picture herself as a bride once again?
Family dynamics and delightful food filled gatherings make this a delectable cozy read.

I received this ARC via Netgalley and Kensington Books, in return for an honest review. This is the series book but is easily read as a stand-alone. This is a lovely book and an enjoyable cosy. Daisy Swanson and her aunt own a tea garden in a small town. When one of the staff, Karina, keep asking for soup and baked goods at the end of each shift, Daisy asks her friend, Jonas (a former detective), to help her follow Karina. They discover that she’s giving the food to a man and his small daughter, living in their van. Daisy and Jonas decide to help him and his daughter. At the same time, Daisy is helping arrange her daughter, Violet’s, marriage and helping her second daughter deal with meeting her birth mother and husband. There’s a great deal happening and when a murder intrudes on Daisy’s family and friends, she seeks to help the police find justice and not focus on the wrong suspects. I enjoyed this book and look forward to the next in the series.

I love this sweet series and visiting my past in PA. This installment is an intriguing mystery that keeps you guessing. with a charming setting and wonderful characters.

Daisy Swanson’s and her family run Daisy’s Tea Garden in Pennsylvania Dutch country. As the family prepare’s for Daisy’s oldest daughter, Vi, to marry, Daisy finds herself helping a homeless single father and his daughter. When the young father is accused of murdering a business associate, Daisy does her best to help the father and child out.

Coming from a Pennsylvania Dutch family, this book was like comfort food for my soul. It make me feel closer to my grandmothers who are both gone. A solid whodunit that kept me guessing until the very end. I was shocked when the killer was revealed, but going back and connecting the dots, it was easy to see the trail had been laid. This was the first book in the series that I have read and it reads fine as a standalone. I can’t wait to read the first three in this series!
