Summary: Texas Hill Country mystery
Comment: China Bayles becomes disillusioned with her career as an attorney so she moves to the small town of Pecan Springs in the Texas Hill Country and opens an herb shop. In this third book of the series, China's good friend, Dottie Riddle, a biology professor at the university in Pecan Springs, is being accused of murdering one of the other faculty members, Miles Harwick. Harwick's animal experiments have galvanized opposition from animal rights groups, but Dottie has personal as well as professional problems with Harwick. A piece of physical evidence is all it takes for Dottie to be arrested. As China does some investigating, she discovers that other people have a motive to murder Harwick as well. Just as she thinks that she has the mystery solved, yet another possible suspect appears on the scene. The setting of the Texas Hill Country is a great place for a mystery and the characters surrounding China, especially her boyfriend Mike McQuaid just add to the fun.

Summary: So So China Bayles mystery
Comment: China is considering moving in with McQuaid, stressful enough, and then her friend, known as the cat lady is accused of the murder of a fellow professor. The professor has alot of skeletons in his closet, everything from abusing animals to children, but who killed him?
This is a pretty good mystery, but others of the series are much better.

Summary: China Bayles - amateur slueth
Comment: As much as I enjoy this series, I feel like something is lacking, I just can't figure out what it is. I like the closeness of the characters, but have a hard time looking at them realistically. China is off on another investigation, this time trying to free her friend and animal rights activist, Dr. Riddle, from a murder charge. China owns an herb shop, but can always seem to find someone to 'mind the store' anytime of day whenever she needs to go nosing around on a case. This is the third in the series, and I'm not seeing any character development at all. The storylines are fun and good for a quick read, and I'm hoping the author will bring China out of her shell a little bit in future books and make her more enthusiastic toward her relationship with McQuaid.
