Theodosia is one of those heroines that I simply adore. Curious but never foolish, she is a woman with a good sense of logic and skill, so it's really no wonder why she is asked to investigate Carson Lanier's death when he is found spiked through a fence after having fallen off a railing. Theodosia is quick to discover that his cause of death was something else. He was shot with a crossbow before he fell, meaning that someone has a motive against him. It's now up to Theodosia to find out who is behind it.

Needless to say, I really enjoyed PLUM TEA CRAZY. Childs is one of my favorite authors when it comes to mysteries and I thought she did a fabulous job of setting up the story for this one. Engaging and mysterious, the story moves at a fast pace, making it easy for me to devour this book in a single setting.

All the cultural references were a nice touch, adding to the overall feel of the novel. I think if you're a newbie to the genre, this series would still be easy to follow. And therefore, I would highly recommend this author and series to anyone who is looking for an upbeat and thrilling read.
