    <body><![CDATA[Second in the China Bayles murder mystery series.  I am enjoying the character development and continuation of their lives in the series - I couldn't find the whole series at first, so read the 8th or 9th one first - NOT A GOOD IDEA - much more fun to read in order.

    <body><![CDATA[This is one of the books to get started into the China Bayles series. Like for any cozy series, I recommend to start with the first one and work your way up in order. This is a great series that deals with murder with a twist-the herbal variety. Plus Albert includes tidbits and information on a spec...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20223510">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm liking the series so far. I usually know whats going to go down but not how. Just a decent mystery that keeps you engaged, then toss in the fact that the main character runs an herb shop and I'm definitely going to read more. The main thing this book did for me is make me get out and play with m...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5178688">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I decided to read several China Bayles books in a row. That way, you can see the characters grow as the author's writing matures. I like this series, even though I do not grow herbs or ever plan to live in Texas!]]></body>
