The Tea Shop Mysteries is Laura Childs’ flagship series, following Theodosia Browning through over twenty years of tea-themed cozy mysteries. Theodosia runs the Indigo Tea Shop in Charleston’s historic district, where Southern charm meets murder with unfortunate regularity.
Beginning with Death by Darjeeling in 2001, the series has become one of the longest-running cozy mystery franchises. Each book blends detailed tea knowledge, Charleston atmosphere, and amateur sleuthing as Theodosia balances her business, social life, and irresistible urge to investigate. Recipes at the end of each book let readers recreate the scones and treats from the Indigo Tea Shop.
