Tea Time Cozy Mysteries by Summer Prescott is set in a tea room where steep-ing tea leaves sometimes reveal steeped-in-crime situations. The three books – Tempest in a Tea Room (2021), Hot Tea and a Cold Case (2021), and Teas, Keys, and Mysteries (2022) – blend tea culture with mystery.
Tempest in a Tea Room opens the series with a crime that disrupts the quiet routine of the tea room. Hot Tea and a Cold Case followed quickly in 2021 with an older unsolved case that surfaces in the community. Teas, Keys, and Mysteries (2022) closed out the trilogy with one final puzzle to solve.
Prescott writes cozy mysteries across several settings, and the tea room backdrop gives this particular series a warm, relaxed atmosphere between the crime-solving moments. Readers who enjoy culinary cozies or shop-based mysteries will find a comfortable fit here. Each book can be read on its own, though the recurring characters reward reading in order.
