This is the seventh in the series. Ms. Smith does not disappoint. I enjoy the character progression and development. The relationships are getting stronger, Daisy’s mother and daughter are learning to deal with everyday situations and their interactions with others.

I was impressed with Vi’s willingness to find some information out for her mother. Invitro fertilization, family relationships or lack of really play important parts in this mystery.
Family dynamics can really twist people into doing irrational actions.

I really enjoyed this standalone book. To really enjoy the stories, I would read them in order but it is not necessary.
Looking forward to the next installment.

I was given an ARC e-book copy from Netgalley. I am not required to leave a positive review.

I like cozy mysteries, I like the kitsch, I like predictability of the characters and the storyline. I like that you can pick up a book in the middle of a cozy series and still have a good read. This did not hit the sweet spot for me though. The murder storyline itself was good, little predictable but for a cozy that is what I want. It was the rest of the book that killed me. Maybe because this is the 7th book I was expected to know the characters…and let me tell you there were a lot. But I didn’t connect to any of them, especially not our detective Daisy. Also, I get that it is a good cozy, but it was overkill. Each meal had to be described in detail…and who eats 7 dishes at a thrown together family dinner night?!?! How are none of the characters 300 lbs. And the kitchen decor descriptions were over the top, I didn’t need ti know the color of everyone’s cabinets in the whole town.

Daisy Swanson runs a Daisy’s Tea Garden and she’s hosting a spread for the community as they look forward to a fundraiser to build a homeless shelter in Willow Creek. hopes that building a homeless shelter would be good for her Willow Creek, Pennsylvania community. Though many residents are opposed to the idea.

Meanwhile, a fertility clinic in Willow Creek called The Hope Clinic recently experienced a mechanical problem and lost eggs and embryos that had been frozen, crushing the hopes of couples using the clinic. Some couples have decided to raise a class action suit against the clinic. Hiram Hershberger is the lawyer representing the fertility clinic.

Lawrence Bishop, a science teacher at Willow Creek High School who also serves on the town council shares his concern with Daisy upon hearing the news because his daughter Piper and her husband Emory used the clinic and with the recent development, they’d now have to find other options to have children.

Following a breakfast meeting between Hiram Hershberger and Troy Ritcher CEO of the Hope Clinic at Daisy’s tea garden, Hiram turns up dead in his office. Who killed him and why?

Thank you to Karen Rose Smith, NetGalley, and Kensington for the ARC of this book.

Once again Daisy finds herself looking into the latest murder. But this time, there are definitely several suspects: first, contention within the town regarding the inclusion of a homeless shelter; a class action suit against the Hope Clinic from prospective parents who had their hopes dashed due to negligence in the clinic; finally, the rumor that the attorney was responsible for one of the Amish young men leaving the faith. And she still has to contend with her own family with their quirks, as well as working on the delicate relationship with Jonas. What is great about this series is the way the author handles family relationships: the good and the bad. I enjoy how Daisy's daughters are becoming more defined with each new story, and also the advancing story of some of the side characters, such as her daughter's friend, Brielle. As always, the murderer kept me guessing for the majority of the story. I look forward to more of Daisy's adventures in the future.

This was such a nail biter of a page turner. A great read. I loved the book. The plot was very well written and I cannot wait for another book. This was from a new to me and great author. I really enjoyed the book. Will definitely recommend this book.

Great series with a loveable and relatable main character, Love the mixing between Amish and "English" with a very surprising perpetrator.

I received this book for free for an honest review from netgalley #netgalley

Sweet cozy mystery. A really cool setting too. Tea is my thing. So this was extra fun.

There's something about Karen Rose Smith's books that make me want to settle in with a cup of tea and read. Murder with Orange Pekoe fit the bill on a rainy day. When Daisy becomes involved in finding who murdered a local lawyer defending a fertility clinic, in a contentious lawsuit, she finds herself the target of a determined killer.

Daisy is a relatable character because she has the same issues the reader can relate to - raising a teenager & worrying about her older daughter and son-in-law, being a first time grandmother, running a business and becoming involved with ex-detective Jonas. Her sleuthing is more questioning than racing into danger. As always, the author handles the touchy subjects, of a fertility clinic and the building of a homeless shelter with understanding.

I was caught up in the mystery, delicious descriptions of the teas and baked goods Daisy serves at her tea shop and the twists and turns of a captivating story!

I received an ARC from NetGalley and the opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Great series and author. I love all her books. If you haven't read this series and book I highly recommend doing so. Read the books in order.

I enjoyed this book. It's fast paced and the characters are enjoyable. I was surprised by who the murderer was. #MurderwithOrangePekoeTea #NetGalley

Daisy, the main character in Karen Rose Smith's A Daisy's Tea Garden Mystery series is so likeable. She has depth and kindness. Her character grows as the series progresses, for which I am so appreciative. There are so many layers in 'Murder with Orange Pekoe Tea' with twists and turns that provided me numerous suspects for the murder of a Willow Creek attorney. Since I have followed the series since the beginning, many things made sense to me. I imagine to those who are new to it there might be a problem with all of the puzzle pieces. In that case, I highly recommend you start from the beginning of the series. You will be highly rewarded.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

I adore this series. I love returning to the charming tea garden in a fictional small village of Willow Creek in Amish country. The neighbors are kind, many are Amish living in the old ways amid their English neighbors and sometimes a murder shakes up the town. The descriptions of the food and tea of the tea garden are delightful. Sho Fly pie is featured in this book as a standard dessert of the Amish as are a array of tea cakes and treats served up at the tea garden.

This was a fun addition to the series. I loved the idea of Daisy and Jonas back together and both advocating for a homeless shelter to be built. Their difficulties of the last book are in the past and their relationship seems to be moving forward in a endearing way. At a fund raising for the homeless shelter a protest occurs and the attorney for the project is murdered . Daisy cannot help but be involved as the prime suspect is a Amish neighbor and friend she knows. As the clues abound and Daisy is once again in danger will she find out who the true murderer is ?

This is such a delight to read that I read it cover to cover. I love all the charcters and the protagnist Daisy is so kind and helpful to those around her. She not only cares deeply for her own family but she always steps up to counsel and help others going through difficult times. It is this goodness that guides Daisy as she is determined to solve the murder and find the rightful suspect.

Thank you to the publisher and to Net Galley and to the author for the ARC for review. I look forward to the next in series . A delightful addition to this wonderful cozy series that I highly recommend for your reading enjoyment.

An adorable cozy mystery that was intriguing and a bit thought provoking as well. The story follows Daisy, An English woman in an Amish neighborhood who runs a tea shop in town. A murder occurs at a local fertility clinic after an unfortunate accident and subsequent protests.
Perfect book in the series and highly recommend for fans of cozy mysteries!

Welcome to the wonderful world of cozy mysteries. Karen Rose Smith knows how to set a scene, create a character, make you feel like you’re right there next to them solving crime. Settle in for the day or night and read this fantastic page turner.

Daisy Swanson is serving tea and treats at an event for the newly approved homeless shelter. Not everyone cares for one of the attendees, an attorney who is representing a local fertility clinic that destroyed eggs and dreams of many of their clients. When protestors show up in masks against the shelter, one man says he wants his attorney, who is at the event.

When the attorney is found dead, the question is who killed him? A protestor or a patient of the fertility clinic? With calls for help, Daisy can’t keep herself from trying to figure out who killed attorney and why, even though it seems to have put Daisy in the crosshairs of the killer and she has to hope her own dreams aren’t dashed as a result.

A great, long running series based in the Amish land of the Pennsylvania Dutch. My family comes from this area and I always feel like I’m back visiting family when I read one of these books. Even the language comes right back to me. I adore this series and high recommend it to any and all cozy lovers!

This was a great addition to the series! I really love how everyone has kind of found the right rhythm for their relationships and is acting like normal, not crazy adults. The mystery was intriguing and also a bit thought provoking, showing both sides as opposed to a very black & white/right or wrong view.

Family dynamics play a major role in this family friendly (yet not always family safe) cozy series.
Daisy and her Aunt Iris run a tea shop and enjoy getting to know their customers.
Daisy is entering into a romantic relationship with a former detective turned woodworker. His shop is also popular with the local Amish community. There is a mingling of worlds in this mystery.
At one point in an Amish person's life they get to decide if they will stay within the faith, beliefs and practices, or "jump the fence" and become more English. We learn a bit more about both sides of that fence in this book.
We also learn more about the various ways a family can be made up, or created. And the pain when family is broken apart.
The mystery revolves around the death of a lawyer. Everyone suspects it is tied to controversy over building a shelter for the area's homeless. Could that be the motive or is there more to discover?

Find out for yourself as you read and enjoy spending time with Daisy, her family and a wonderful new addition! Make new friends.

Daisy is an Englisher in an Amish neighborhood, has many friends, and operates a tea shop in their small town. There has been electrical accident in a fertility clinic nearby which has made a major impact on several local families. Then comes the protests and soon after there is a related murder. Let the sleuthing begin. Add in insights into the character's lives and the story becomes well rounded. Good read!
There is much good information on such clinics and how they affect people as well as issues of post partum depression in this story.
