For the past couple of weeks, Pecan Springs had been sizzling in a Texas size heat wave. The red-orange sun skittered like a ball of flame across the cloudless morning sky, afternoon temperatures nudged one hundred, and the night air was a smothering blanket, hot and heavy. In this kind of weather, you never know what will happen. People burn down to a short fuse. China Bayles owns an herb shop in Pecan Springs, Texas. While China is retrieving her live in boyfriend Mike McQuaid's truck she finds the body of her accountant Rosemary Robbins who has been shot in the head. McQuaid s drafted to find the man who it is believed committed the crime and travels to Mexico to hunt him down. China doesn't believe this man is guilty and begins her own investigation. Meanwhile an excon that McQuaid put in jail is out and threatening revenge. It was pretty obvious to me who committed the murder but I liked the added suspense of the threat from the excon and China discovering how to be a mom to Mike's son. A good entry in the series and I plan to read more of this series. Synopsis: China is feeling the pains of living with a man and his son. While part of her loves it, the 'other China' feels trapped and marginalized. Adding to her stress is the annual gathering of herbalists that she is helping to sponsor. Rather than picking up McQuaid's truck from a friend who has borrowed it, China finds that friend murdered. One of Ruby's psychic friends warns China of impending danger to Brian, McQuaid's son, and provides information that helps solve a murder. Review: This was a real 'grabber'. There was just enough tension to keep me interested enough to read half the book in one sitting, putting it down because it really was time to go to bed. Fourth in this critically acclaimed series finds China Bayles, ex-attorney now herbal shopkeeper, trying to solve the murder of her accountant, Rosemary Robbins. Questioning clients and friends of Rosemary leaves China more and more bewildered. No one seems to know her and everyone has a reason to murder her. Engaging heroine and taut mystery makes this a marvellous series to be read and enjoyed. Well done! nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
China Bayles's herb shop in Pecan Springs wasn't a big business, but it kept her busy. So she brought her taxes to Rosemary Robbins, an accountant who reminded China a bit of her former self-preoccupied, distracted, maybe a bit overstressed. Still, Rosemary always seemed pleasant, and China wished she could get to know her better. Now, though, the chance is gone. Driving out to Rosemary's house on an errand, China discovers her accountant has been murdered. With one abusive ex-husband and plenty of former clients in the picture, there's no shortage of suspects. And with a vengeful ex-convict on the loose, there's plenty for China to worry about. And as the evidence unfolds, she's more determined than ever to make the killer pay... Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
