Dark Tea
In the ancient town of Kamakura, a priceless artifact has been found, and when the man who owns it, the 14th Grandmaster of the Takahashi School of Tea, poisons himself shortly afterward in his locked tea house, the death is ruled a simple suicide.
All his family has alibis, and his suicide note is on his desk.
The case looks closed, but for retired Professor of Japanese Literature Penelope Middleton, all is not as it seems.
In the charming and sophisticated world of the tea ceremony, where elegant kimonos whisper across the tatami mat floors and friends gather to practice the art of beauty, a dark obsession is moving in the shadows.

Dark Tea is an easy read with an engaging plot. Tea houses and the tea ceremony are part of Japanese tradition and in this story tradition gets mixed with greed (for money) and greed (for a position). Beautifully written, the story tells a lot about the Japanese way of life and beliefs. For those who enjoy reading mysteries that unravel at a slower pace this book is a must-read!
