I really think I'm close to giving up on Karen Harper. I started this book, but could not get into it at all. The storyline just didn't hold my attention and I didn't care about the characters.

Anyone who has heard of the properties of Ginseng roots, will love this story about harvesting and 'counting' Ginseng in Kentucky. This fast-paced mystery/thriller will race you thru the story. I could hardly put this book down,
I from the time I picked it up in the a.m. until I finally went to bed that night! I HAD to finish this book in one day, it was so filled with thrilling details.

Couldn't finish this book. First 119 pages repeated the same thing too many times. This book had potential but was just taking to long to get anywhere. But, I have really enjoyed books that were rated poorly by others so you might like it.

This book was hard to get into the story, but once I got into the book a few chapters, it was a page turner. Would recommend the book if you are a big fan of Karen Harper. If this is your first book, read some of her other ones first.
