I love China Bayles mysteries! The plot of this story was excellent and held my interest fully. The only aggravation was the change in tense from one chapter to another; Mike's chapters were written in present tense while China's were in past tense (which I think are not only easier to construct but easier to read). Even with this annoyance, though, this was another great book by Ms. Albert. Love her new series as well about the Darling Dahlias.
I really enjoyed this China Bayles book!
Another chapter in the adventures of China Bayles. Lots of lose ends wrap up in this one, so read some of the earlier books first to really appreciate the story lines.
It's a fun read. Every now and again I wish one of the books was longer and really dug into the characters more, but they are always a fun read. You get a nice slice of Texas and herb info as well. Enjoy!

For the past few weeks, I've been dreaming about my father.
Although this is the 16th book in the China Bayles series, it is the third book in a trilogy that started with Bleeding Hearts and continued with Spanish Dagger. This covers the death of China's father and the introduction of her brother (half-brother), Miles.
China has struggled to have a relationship with Miles. Miles hires McQuaid to assist in the investigation that has somehow spiraled to include reporters and politicians. An interesting twist to the series is that portions of the book are told strictly from McQuaid's point of view. I like that!
This is one of my favorite series and I'm not sure why I have let it hang in my TBR pile/mountain. I always enjoy a visit with China and her crew. Not very much of Ruby this time around and I miss that. A series that I highly recommend.
