Description
In Pennsylvania's Amish country, Daisy Swanson finds herself going back to school expecting to serve tea—only to get a crash course in criminal justice . . .

The faculty of Willow Creek High School are having a get-together after the spring concert with refreshments provided, courtesy of Daisy's Tea Garden. Oolong tea and chocolate biscuits are just what the staff needs to help them unwind from Althea Higgins' demanding curriculum. Her lessons on such controversial subjects as school uniforms and underqualified substitute teachers are earning her an F from her colleagues.

But a failing grade was preferable to Althea falling victim to foul play. Daisy was there when her body was discovered in the school swimming pool, murdered by strangulation. Althea was certainly a strict, opinionated taskmaster, unliked by both teachers and students, but would any of them actually want to kill her? As Daisy starts asking questions, she gets a real education in Althea's history, discovering more than enough enemies with more than enough motives to cancel her classes permanently . . .

Murder with Oolong Tea
fullDescription
In Pennsylvania's Amish country, Daisy Swanson finds herself going back to school expecting to serve tea—only to get a crash course in criminal justice . . .

The faculty of Willow Creek High School are having a get-together after the spring concert with refreshments provided, courtesy of Daisy's Tea Garden. Oolong tea and chocolate biscuits are just what the staff needs to help them unwind from Althea Higgins' demanding curriculum. Her lessons on such controversial subjects as school uniforms and underqualified substitute teachers are earning her an F from her colleagues.

But a failing grade was preferable to Althea falling victim to foul play. Daisy was there when her body was discovered in the school swimming pool, murdered by strangulation. Althea was certainly a strict, opinionated taskmaster, unliked by both teachers and students, but would any of them actually want to kill her? As Daisy starts asking questions, she gets a real education in Althea's history, discovering more than enough enemies with more than enough motives to cancel her classes permanently . . .

        January 1, 2021
        Widow, mother, sleuth, and tea shop owner Daisy Swanson finds herself involved in yet another murder. Although tourism, the lifeblood of Pennsylvania Dutch country, feeds Daisy and her aunt through their tea shop, there are other opportunities for work close to home, like the request to cater a teachers appreciation tea at the school Daisy once attended. Her English teacher, opinionated Althea Higgins, is still making waves by pushing school uniforms and disparaging other teachers. The tea goes off without a hitch until Althea is found floating in the pool. The teacher who found her naturally asks Daisy for help proving her innocence even though the amateur sleuth has her hands full with domestic problems. Daisy's adopted teen daughter, Jazzi, begs Daisy to take in her friend Brielle Horn for two weeks while her lawyer parents go to Europe. When Daisy agrees, she finds Brielle a mass of insecurity and rebelliousness against her mostly absent parents. And Daisy's effort to get her boyfriend, former police officer Jonas Groft, talking to Zeke Willet, who betrayed his trust when they both worked in Philadelphia, threatens to ruin her own relationship with Jonas. When she finds time to investigate Althea's past, she finds plenty of people who hated her, a few who loved her, and a daughter and grandson who stood to inherit her valuable farm. Stressed to the max and warned by the police to be careful, Daisy continues to nose around with surprising results. A heartwarming cozy whose relationship quandaries outweigh the mystery.
