Publisher's summary

When ex-lawyer and herb-shop proprietor China Bayles’s friend Jo dies of an apparent suicide, China looks behind the quaint façade of her new home of Pecan Springs, Texas, and takes a suspicious look at everyone. And though she finds lots of friendly faces, China is sure that one of them hides the heart of a killer.

Nominated for both an Agatha and an Anthony Award, Susan Wittig Albert’s novels featuring China Bayles have won acclaim for their rich characterization and witty, suspenseful stories of crime and passion in small-town Texas.

Excellent story and excellent narrator

Loved revisiting the excellent book via audible. I’m so happy to have listened to it to get reacquainted with the beginning of China and Ruby, etc.

Easy, good, light read

Even if I early on figured out who the murderer was. At least she didn’t bring in any surprise figure in the end to be the murderer. Many authors do that and it is so exasperating.

Excellent Story

As usual…this author has written another wonderful, very descriptive story of bad authors, kind animal lovers, and money hungry women. It was a delightful evening listening to this story. Looking forward to the next book in series.

I love this author. Her wit, color, and humor stand out in all of her characters. She is a treasure. This series is the third series I've read.

Not for me because of sex obscenity

The obscenity descriptions are not my thing so if I could I would send the book back for a refund. Also too many books have a theme of making women victims either from their childhood or their husbands. Need some new material.
