I can't wait to read "Oolong Dead", but it won't be available at my local library for a while yet.<br><br>I also picked the English Breakfast Murder as a favorite. I loved how it included a sea turtle hatching and a fashion bash and so much tea info. The ginger pear scone recipe and tea dyeing info was great.<br><br>It just might be time to go back and reread some of the first books in the series.

I have enjoyed each one and look forward to continuing. I have to agree with you Angela, that "Death By Darjeeling" is my favorite so far, not only because I was thrilled to have found these tea theme mysteries, but, I loved Charleston's historical "Lamplighter Tour" at the beginning. Being such an easy read with a wonderful "family" of characters, I'm sure I'll be enjoying this series for a long time to come.Karen Bullocknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-38433085504200673402009-03-10T12:59:00.000-04:002009-03-10T12:59:00.000-04:00oh hon, because of you i even discovered this seri...oh hon, because of you i even discovered this series. my library does not carry it, but i have asked them to consider doing so. in the meantime, i am anxiously awaiting the first one in the series courtesy of our interstate-interlibrary loan system! i am so excited and want to thank you for posting about them previously and also, for this most generous opportunity to win this one! i must say, everyone who has read them and commented, certainly endorse this as a good read also. hugs all around! :)comfrey cottageshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01135637912946395843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-53401690972853582622009-03-10T13:00:00.000-04:002009-03-10T13:00:00.000-04:00Angela, I agree with you, Karen and Steph; Death b...Angela, I agree with you, Karen and Steph; Death by Darjelling was my favorite also; it was the first one I read too.
