China Bayles never fails to entertain. This latest book in one of my all-time favourite series is another winner. In it we've got dual story lines and dual murders as well as art fraud and building code boondoggles. You couldn't ask for more excitement. Then add lots of valuable and interesting herb lore and throw in a few really good recipes and you've got vintage China Bayles. I have loved this series for a number of years now and look forward to each new book in the series. China's family is growing through the years, but her friends are just as endearing as they were from the first book. Ruby Wilcox and Sheila Dawson (Smart Cookie) are perennial favorites. I love China's sense of humor and her dry wit. I love reading about her life in Pecan Springs, Texas. It's like catching up with old and dear friends every time I read a new China Bayles book. Keep 'em coming Susan. I can never get enough.
