Ron: “The setting for a romantic mystery is often a ‘character’ in its own right. An elegant manor house. An ocean liner in mid Atlantic. A ski lodge in the mountains. We decided that a tea museum is an interesting, unusual place that people will enjoy reading about. The Royal Tunbridge Wells Tea Museum seems real to us — a place where visitors can see tea-related paintings, maps, documents and other artifacts. And so, we prepared “plans” for the museum. You’ll find them on the “sub pages” you can access from the menu, above.
Janet: “We decided to put the tea museum in Royal Tunbridge Wells for three main reasons. First, the Wells has a veddy, veddy British flavor that makes it an ideal location for a romantic mystery. Second, we couldn’t find any other mystery series set in the town. We felt the time had come to correct this obvious oversight. And third, I grew up in Royal Tunbridge Wells — this seemed a perfect opportunity to ‘remove’ the petrol station that was built where my house used to be and replace it with a more appropriate edifice.”
