5.0 out of 5 stars I couldn't put the book down!!, August 28, 1998

By A Customer

When China's accountant, Rosemary, is killed, China tries to figure out who the murderer is. There are several possibilities which adds to the suspense. Along the way China discovers how much she loves her boyfriend's teenage son, Brian. Like the rest of us, China doesn't realize how much she loves someone until she almost loses them. It's a great story!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Quirky, Clever and Offbeat, June 9, 2001

By	Mamalinde "mamalinde" (Dallas) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

So far my favorite China Bayles book, this clever herbal mystery reads beautifully. From a stubborn air conditioner to step-child issues to murder, trekkies and channeling, and a host of wonderfully quirky characters, everything fits together neatly and truly works. The later books have more herbal lore included, which I missed a bit in this one, and Ms. Wittig Albert provided enough clues for the reader to puzzle out the mystery. Nonetheless, it was a delightful and enjoyable read.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Somewhat Gentler China, March 19, 2001

By	S. Schwartz "romonko" (alberta canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I have been reading the China Bayles series, and this is the fourth book in the series. I strongly recommend that you begin at the beginning and read them in order. It's not necessary in order to enjoy this book, but it helps. Then you will see how much gentler China is becoming. She is certainly not as "hard-bitten" a heroine like VI Warshawski or Kinsey Mallone, but I like her because she is the way she is. This is a good series and, as always, there is lots of good plant information in this book. Unfortunately, I figured out "who-donuit" about 1/2 way through the book, but it didn't spoil the story. I hope that in subsequent books in the series, which I will be reading, Ms. Albert does not leave such glaring clues. I like being held in suspense until the end.
