This was #24 in the China Bayles series, but the first one I‘ve read. The author did a good job of filling in pertinent past information, so I never felt lost. I enjoyed the mystery, and the bits-and-pieces way clues were revealed. I will read more of this series. Set in April in the beautiful Texas Hill Country, this was a last-minute substitution for #SeasonalCozies. Hoopla snatched my original choice back after I‘d only read 2 chapters! 🙃

This was a particularly good addition to this series and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Returning the book to the drop slot at the library tomorrow however, all the libraries in our area, probably in all of Michigan are closed due to covid 19 😥 Stay safe, stay healthy, and make sure you have plenty of books on hand 😁

Great mystery in one of my favorite series. I love China's herb shop and gardens.
