Tea & Treachery

Tea and Treachery is the first book in the Tea by the Sea series. Vicki Delany picked such a lovely idea and setting for this series. Lily Roberts is running a tea shop next to her grandmother Rose's bed and breakfast. Grandmother Rose, however, is very opinionated and ends up getting herself in trouble when a developer she was unhappy with, ends up dead. It's up to Lily to figure out what happened.

The characters were good and although I didn't care much for Grandmother Rose, I did like Lily and some of the other chacters in the book. It was well-thought out and it kept me engaged all the way through. I would definitely read the next in the series. Maybe Grandmother Rose will grow on me. :)

I loved the setting and, of course, the tea! It took me a while to warm up to some of the characters–particularly Rose–but their friendships were charming. All in all, a nice diverting read.
