Rosemary Remembered

Summary: Quirky, Clever and Offbeat
Review: 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.

Summary: Gripping Thriller
Review: This is my second China Bayles book. This is a good example of compelling plotting and good characterisations. The author combines the sweet sadness of China's home life with the brutal terror of the murder plot. This is in the vein of Kinsey Millhone stories but China is a somewhat more domesticated Kinsey. Well worth a try.

Summary: I couldn't put the book down!!
Review: 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!!
