 I enjoyed this author's other cozy series and this one did not disappoint. This is the first book in a new series. Hana and her family own and operate a Hungarian Tea House is suburban Chicago. During a ladies tea one of the guests is poisoned. The local police need Hana's help navigating the Hungarian language and culture to solve the crime. I really enjoyed the characters and the setting. The author does a really good job with capturing the immigrant and Hungarian culture. I loved how she incorporated the Hungarian fairy tales and myths into the mystery. The mystery was good with enough suspects to make it interesting. There is some romance and I felt it was introduced too quickly. I look for word to reading the next book in the series. Enjoy
