" Always enjoy reading the China Bayles series. Love the recipes in the books too! "

" Always enjoy the books in this series, and this one was no exception! "

" I've read all the China Bayles books and am right at home in Pecan Springs. This book focuses on Sheila, the police chief. It's fairly typical, but I still enjoying hearing stories about China and her friends. "

" Very good transition to a new storytelling style that refreshes the series nicely. China can go on forever! "

" A little different perspective with this book in the series, I really enjoyed the descriptions of the beauty of the Texas Hill Country! "

" I really enjoy the China Bayles series, and I know I can count on a cozy read. This was no exception. Cat's Claw was a bit different as the story was told mostly from Sheila Dawson's perspective. One of Chief Dawson's neighbors has apparently committed suicide and a Pecan Springs bigwig is about to be arrested for extortion. Dawson's 2nd in command still resents the fact that he didn't get the job and she did. I enjoyed the change of perspective. I felt Ruby got very short shrift in this outing though, and I missed her. "

" i loved the story surrounding the police chief and how she interac with her staff and they end up solving multiple mysteries. good detecting. "

" Loved a book from Smart Cookie's point of view! "

" Changing voices was not as smooth as it should have been. I also missed Ruby. She was in this one but only a minor role . "

" This series is just easy fun! As a bit of a departure this book is not narrated solely from China's POV but from Smart Cookies as well. Fun to catch up with the people from Pecan Springs and to read about the usage of various herbs as well as the recipes. "

" I love Susan Wittig Albert's characters. They are so much more complex and alive than the regulars in most comparable series. Great sense of humor to her writing, and relationships that hold your interest beyond the mystery-solving and adventures. "

" I always look forward to a new China Bayles story. This is the 21st in this series and I can rely on a new one every year. Comforting and familiar - I love them. "

" Not as good as she used to be "

" Police Chief Sheila (Smart Cookie) Dawson and China team up to solve a computer guru's murder. "

" Number 20 in the series and Ms Wittig Albert changed the style of writing and I didn't enjoy it as much as the others. Partly there was too little introduction to the victims and the suspects, it was hard to care for or about any of them. "

" I didn't like this one as much as the others in the series. "

" Always a great easy to read cozy. And, love the recipes. When she mentioned the breakfast burritos in one chapter I immediately flipped to the back pages to find the recipe. "
