Reader Reviews
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!I thank the author for the free copy of this book.
