It seems to me that those of us who like to “take tea” also enjoy a good mystery.  I am surprised that no one has yet gotten a half million dollar government grant to research the link between the two but there you go.  It is a strange world in which we live.

So, when I saw a particular tea alert in my email about a mystery author I had to check it out..and now….sigh..I am hooked on the website.
The site is a cooperation between several lady mystery writers and they discuss everything from tea parties to historical accuracy in your writing. I love it.

So, this afternoon, grab a cup of tea and a cookie to nibble on…because you really can’t eat a cookie when you are taking tea..you must nibble it… and sit down for a great read at The Lady Killers.

I love to read. I am so sad that I don’t have the time that I used to to just sit and read a book. Other than when we go to the VA, I am usually reading books ALOUD if at all. And those generally have vocabulary like: One Fish…Two Fish…Red Fish…Blue Fish…

Hardly stimulating for even my overworked mind.

Tiffany gave me the heads up about the Coffee House Mysteries.  That’s what friends are for, right?

I really like them. Some of the first books in the series I could only find used, but hte author is coming out with a new book one the 30th of September.

This are perfect “take a break” books, to keep next to your tea cup and favorite chair.  They are inexpensive…Don’t you hate paying 12.95 for a paperback? I do!  Anyway, these are 6.99.

A cool thing about them is that the books include recipes. It just seems to hit me on all levels, it feeds my inner foodie, while keeping me entertained! Lots of details to delight your inner barista as well.

The characters move and grow throughout the books, they are not static. I like that because nothing is worse than a character that is just as stupid n book 6 as they were in book 1, right?

Could I have found something I like as well as Jan Karon’s Mitford series?

Could be!

Has anyone else read these?  Thoughts?
