“As
the first harbingers of spring reach the tearoom, so does an unexpected
package. When the cousins open it, they discover a beautiful white china teapot
with a lovely floral design. But it is what’s inside that really captures
Elaine’s and Jan’s imagination: a hand-drawn map and cryptic poem giving clues
to a hidden treasure.
The intrigue only deepens when Archie Bentham’s
friend Nigel Fox stumbles into the tearoom with a gash on his forehead and a
warning for them. Could his arrival be connected to the map and poem? Soon
other would be treasure hunters arrive, and the sleuthing cousins are
determined to not only find the treasure but also get to the bottom of the
mystery surrounding it.
Meanwhile, as Elaine and Jan piece together the
last of the clues they’ve collected about the antique sapphire ring, they
discover that its story is even more intriguing than they suspected.”

personal Rating- 
I personally had a really hard
time getting into this book, but the few hundred pages was interesting and kept
my attention well. It’s a cute mystery series that always makes me want a cup
of tea. :)
