The first two books in this series didn't "wow" me, but appealed enough for me to try two more. Last night I finished this (the third), started the fourth this morning, and am now searching for the next few. I guess I'm hooked! Pretty good mysteries, good characters and community being established over the series. The main continuing characters are folks I'd enjoy having as neighbors and friends.

From back cover: A prominent animal researcher has been hanged. And suspicion has fallen on the Cat Lady - a local biology professor whose obsession with rescuing strays makes her, in some people's minds, capable of murder in defense of animals. But China is a friend of the Cat Lady, and she doesn't agree. This may have been an act of pure human aggression...

I love learning about plants, as I always to in this series. I love the way Susan's mind works through mysteries and relationships. I enjoy reading about my home state and places I know and love.

I have read the first two books in this series and was looking forward to reading this book. I was not disappointed at all...the story was exciting, the characters continued from the 2 previous books and there was a little romance included...Yippee for this series. I'd recommend it to any one who likes to read a great story.

Another enjoyable book in the series featuring ex-attorney now herb shop owner, China Bayles. Nicely drawn characters, well written, and it kept me guessing until the end. I'm very much enjoying this series!

I'm not a fan of mystery at all, but I really enjoy this whole serious. Mixing herbal magic, intuition and a few murders, Albert knows how to tell a few good stories.
