I am excited about the publication of Laura Childs' newest Indigo Teashop novel. A Dark and Stormy Tea will be published next week on August 9, 2022. It is the 23rd book in the series. Number 24, Lemon Curd Killer, is scheduled for publication in March 2023.
The author writes 3 other series and I have always thought that her writing suffers from putting out 3 books every year. Her last book in this series was good though and Kirkus Reviews has given this novel a good review. In A Dark and Stormy Tea we see main character Theodosia Browning noticing two figures who are locked in a strange embrace at St. Phillip's Graveyard. She quickly realizes that she has witnessed a brutal murder and recognizes the victim, the daughter of a friend. After calling the local police, Theodosia begins her own investigation.
The series takes place in Charleston and Childs has always made the setting prominent. It is one of the endearing features of the series. With a nice review from Kirkus, I am looking forward to reading A Dark and Stormy Tea.

I love it when a cozy series really evokes that sense of place.
