All of the China Bayles series books are written with a conversational style, and endearing sincerity. The characters are both loveable and believable as are the places. Albert describes things well enough to give you a picture for your mind's eye without allowing the descriptions to overtake the storyline. If you've never lived in Central Texas trust me when I tell you that this is as close as you can get without moving here! These books are a comfortable, easy read - equally good for rainy...more

I've realized this, that I've read this in August 05. I forgot to add this to my read book shelf. The title I didn't recognize, but the storyline and characters I did. Nonetheless, this is a great herbal mystery with suspense, drama, intrigue and great facts on dye. A good read.

I really liked this one and especially the information on the indigo dyes and the dye process and the plants grown for their colors and the mystery itself. It all came together in a suspensful story that was well-written. Very enjoyable.

I really enjoy Albert's Beatrix Potter series, but her actual mysteries leave something to be desired. They are predictable and the characters lack depth. I would not recommend this particular one as I yawned most of the way through.

Albert's China Bayles series is well worth the time. This one has a nice red herring twist and a deep, deadly, and desperate secret. It isn't just sins that can be passed generation to generation.

This is a very interesting mystery. I'm not a mystery fan, but I got sucked into this one. I did not figure out the "whodunit" until is was revealed. This is a good book.

I think I really enjoyed this one because I liked hearing about the dye process. To me, that's pretty interesting.
