I discovered the author’s cozies during the Christmas season (2021) and was captivated by "Decked in the Hall." In fact, I read all 3 of the available cozies in a row of the "Finch & Fischer Mystery" series. This led my anticipation of further delight to investigate another series by this author but it was sadly disappointing to me.

• If you enjoy drinking tea and learning of the different medicinal benefits, this is the book for you.
• If you enjoy an entrepreneur that is constantly away sleuthing leaving the business to be manned by a new hire, this is the book for you.
• If you enjoy an amateur sleuth that conveniently forgets all the things she puts in her pocket, this is the book for you.

• I'm not a tea drinker but love a cold glass of sweet tea with lemon as a refreshing summer drink.
• I've read many delightful cozy mysteries with entrepreneurs of tea rooms that weren't dashing out on their employees every other minute.
• Amateur sleuth Penny Finch and her little Jack Russell terrier Fischer are simply a charming combination. Lilly Tweed, former agony aunt of the local newspaper exhibited many qualities but I didn't find charm to be one of them. Her cat, Earl Grey, is more delightful simply by sleeping in the window of the tea room.

At this time, I’m undecided if I’ll try "The Yellow Cottage Vintage Mysteries" taking place in 1930’s England or simply wait to enjoy more time with Penny and Fischer. ( )
