About the Book:
The bestselling author of Oolong Dead serves up an Old-World treat, spiced with a Sherlock Holmes-style murder mystery.
It was the Dickensian evening Theodosia Browning had been hoping for. Charleston shop-owners dressed in cloaks of yore threw open their back doors to visitors, who took advantage of bargains and Theodosia's delicious teas.
But later, the alleys clear except for one body- which a horrified Theodosia discovers. It's Daria, the map store's owner. Locals have shown interest in buying her shop-but enough to kill? Plus there's been a customer hell-bent on acquiring a not-forsale map. Most alarming of all theories, however, is Detective Tidwell's: the killer mistook Daria for Theodosia. And if that theory holds, the killer's work isn't done.

My Review:
I'm really becoming a fan of these cozy mysteries! This was another fun book by Laura! Again, she has a swift paced writing style that sucks you in within the first few pages and keeps you devouring the story.
The storyline for the book was good and I was really kept guessing! Laura does a great job (IMO) of keeping the reader guessing till the end. I for one was shocked by the killer!
I also think the author does a great job with character building because I always seem to connect, and/or root for them in some way.
Overall, another enjoyable read from Laura Childs! An entertaining story that cozy mystery fans should defenitley check out!

I'm glad to hear the book keeps you guessing until the end. Sometimes the reader can figure it out in the first few chapters, and that's no fun!
