About this book:
“As
Tea for Two gears up for Valentine’s Day, Elaine and Jan hear some shouts
behind the tearoom. They look out the window to frozen Chickadee Lake to
observe what appear to be inebriated men leaving their ice-fishing shanty. But
when the cousins learn that one of the members of their community has gone
missing, they’re almost certain it’s one of the fishermen they saw. Were they
witnesses to a crime? As the cousins delve into the man’s disappearance, they
learn that this incident could be more complex than they imagined.
Meanwhile, a new regular at the
tearoom seems intent on disrupting the neighborhood in search for some old
coins. Why does she care so much? And could this charming and seemingly
innocent woman be involved in the crime on the lake?”

My
personal Rating- 
While I personally found this book’s
mystery to be more interesting than others in the series, I still struggled
with keeping track of everyone and how they’re all connected. It was all very clean,
but I wasn’t a big fan of the reveal which affected my rating. Not sure why,
but this series hasn’t been my favorite.
See y’all on Friday with a new
review!
*BFCG may (Read the review to see) recommend this book by this
author. It does not mean I recommend all the books by this author.
