They are at it again! The tea shop team again end up in the middle of a mystery and help to solve it as usual. However I liked this ending better than some. As long as these books are written I will happily read them..

Peach Tea Smash by Laura Childs is twenty-eighth A Tea Shop Mystery. A Tea Shop Mysteries are what got me hooked on cozy mysteries (I was browsing a bookstore when I came upon Death by Darjeeling). Peach Tea Smash is easy to read. I enjoyed catching up with Theodosia, Drayton, Hayley, Earl Gray, Detective Tidwell, and the rest of the gang. The tea shop is hopping, and Theo has several tea events planned that will require the help of Miss Dimple and Hayley’s sweet cousin. At the Mad Hatter Masquerade, Drayton and Theodosia find the coordinator’s husband dead. Theo and her sidekick, Drayton soon find themselves looking into the case. There are multiple suspects including the victim’s stepson. Unlike the earlier novels in A Tea Shop Mysteries, the whodunit is on the lighter side. I felt there needed to be breadcrumbs along the way leading to the guilty party instead of a light bulb moment. I thought the setting for the Mad Hatter Masquerade was unique and provided a great setting for the murder. There are robberies happening around town as well. I was left with a couple of unanswered questions at the end of the book. The author captures Charleston with her vivid descriptions of the buildings and streets. There are tea tips and ideas for themed teas at the end of the book along with recipes. Peach Tea Smash left me feeling as happy as a clam at high tide.

Number twenty-seven! Where does the time go? I’ve read every single book in this series and have enjoyed all of them. Peach Tea Smash is not an exception. I loved seeing what my old ”friends” were up to and what kind of tea parties they were doing at the tea shop. This title kept me guessing throughout who was behind the murders. Recommended for cozy mystery readers and fans of Vivien Chien & Darci Hannah.

I really enjoy this series! The characters seem like friends and I love the setting. The mystery kept me guessing and I was eager to see who did it. Looking forward to the next book!

Laura Childs’ Tea Shop mysteries are so much fun to read. Theodosia gets pulled in to another murder while attending an Alice in Wonderland get together. Who would want to kill someone that everyone seemed to like? All Theo wants to do is run her tea shop and host themed teas, is that too much to ask?

I enjoyed this book more than the previous one. Theodosia still does dangerous things and Drayton joins her in this book. There were two murders and they were a bit more gruesome than any previous ones. Delaine is in here and does her usual talking too much and disclosing some secrets. But otherwise she was not as loud and annoying. I liked the ending☺️

It definitely got my attention when I saw Peach Tea Smash was number 27 in the Tea Shop Mystery series. I’ve been reading these books for over two decades . They never disappoint and I still enjoy them. Peach Tea Smash had some interesting twists and a very unexpected ending.

I've read this whole series and I am afraid it's getting a little tired. In this one, there are a couple of red herring suspects that Theo and Drayton investigate, but they aren't at all onto the actual murderer until the very end. Theo sees something that helps her figure it out at literaly 90% of the way through the book. It would have been more satisfying if there was some actual evidence along the way that made her even briefly suspect this person, if only to lay some kind of trail. I even went back through the book at all references to the murderer to make sure I didn't miss any evidence, but it wasn't there-the person was barely in the book until the last few chapters. I wish I could write a better review, but I really can't.
