Mourning Gloria Audiobook

" Continuing series about China Bayles (former attorney) who now owns an herb shop in Texas. Have read all of this series and seen the characters grow. "

" Albert's mysteries are a pleasure to read. I have liked almost all of the Thyme and Seasons herb shop books, and I particularly like the town that Albert has created: Pecan Springs, TX. China Bayles, herbalist and owner of the local herb shop, is a sharply drawn female character. No shrinking violet here--and she is smart and capable as a businesswoman, too. In this latest mystery, Bayles helps Sheriff Blackie Blackwell identity a burned body and search for the missing journalism intern. Lots of red herrings, but always a satisfying read. "

" I really enjoy this series, for it's little slice of Texas life and the information on herbs and plants. "

" I'd taken a break from China since her stories were beginning to seem like reruns. This one has a nice new twist to it and I enjoyed her adventures once more. I think the addition of Baby Grace and Caitie are pluses. "

" One of the best China Bayles books yet. "

" I really enjoy these China Bayles mysteries. "

" I'm a first-time reader of a book from the China Bayles mystery series. I'll be reading more of the series. A delightful read. "

" Good Mystery with recipes at the end. "

" Just finished this one & caught because I know Caitlin is new & China loves to give them a FACE when they are new but I missed Ruby & some of the other great characters. Still enjoyes it.but wanted more story. "

" I had read some negative reviews of this book but I was captured, as usual, by the folks in Pecan Springs and didn't want to leave them. Enjoyed this new outing just as much as previous stories. "

" I can't believe this is the 19th book in the China Bayles series. I'm still enjoying it. Albert keeps the stories and characters fresh. "

" Always enjoy this series, and this book no exception. Besides a good plot, likeable characters, the knowledge of herbs is an added plus. "

" As usual, a great story! "

" Love the China Bayle mysteries, the town of Pecan Springs and all its residents and the way the author writes one can tel she does too. These are more chracter based mysteries, but the storyline is very good as well, and as a bonus one finds out a great deal about herbs. "

" A light fluffy read. Nothing too in depth but a good story. "

" I love it when April comes around and I get to visit Pecan Springs again !! "

" This was my lightweight choice for a quick summer read; I like the China Bayles series and I love the herbal lore. I learned something about drug smuggling and college students drug use. "

" excellent story; I really liked the third person scenes with the intern reporter as an addition to China's first person narrative "

" I have missed China, it is great to spend some time with her again. "

" I love this little series. Since I have read all the others,I feel like she doesn't need to keep giving us the same information in every book. It seems as if China is becoming much to interested in the crimes even putting her step-children in danger. "

" 3.5 stars. Albert continues to keep this series fresh with good mysteries and herbal facts. "

" I started the summer mystery binge early this year with one of my favorites. Usually I don't read more than one series by an author but Susan Wittig Albert is the exception. Her Beatrix Potter series is fun and I'm looking forward to reading the first in the Darling Dahlias. "

" Another great book in this series! A surprise at the end ... it wasn't who I thought it was. More recipes, too, that I can't wait to try!!! "

" I really enjoy these China Bayles mysteries. "

" Fun quick reads- China Bayles mysteries are similar to The Alphabet series....by Sue Grafton- clever plotting... easy to pick up and put down....pleasant diversions. "

" Another great entry in a favorite series--some of these are better than others, but this was one of the good ones. Hard to put down with lots of seat-of-your-pants suspense but also a nice visit with China, Ruby and the gang. "

" I really like this series....always waiting for the next one to come out. "

" China Bayles is always a fun read. "

" Another great China Bayles mystery--more suspenseful than some. Great plot and characters. Love this series. "

" I can't believe this is the 19th book in the China Bayles series. I'm still enjoying it. Albert keeps the stories and characters fresh. "

" Liked this one better than some of her previous work, in that the climax was not contrived to place the heroine in jeopardy. This one played out as more of a police procedural, and was to my mind more believable. Well written, with the special touch of herbal lore and recipes. "
