Dead Man's Bones (China Bayles Mystery)

Susan Wittig Albert

Berkley, 2006

dead man's bones
Though this book got off to a slow start, I feel that "Dead Man's Bones" is probably one of the stronger entries into the China Bayles series. China is a little more introspective than most cozy sleuths, which is not surprising since the author is a former English ...

Finding Your Roots Online Although I like Wittig Albert's early China Bayles books the best, I was relieved to see her getting back into her "old" form with Nightshade. The story caught my interest in the first few pages and kept it til page last. Generally, it's ...

Thyme of Death (China Bayles 1)

Susan Wittig Albert

Berkley, 1994

One of the strongest mystery series
The first book I read in this series was SPANISH DAGGER, which was published in 2007. DAGGER sent me back to this one, the very first from 1992, and I was not disappointed. In fact, THYME OF DEATH proved to be a compelling and sophisticated page-turner. The themes ...

Bleeding Hearts (China Bayles Mystery)

Susan Wittig Albert

Bloodroot (China Bayles Mystery)

Susan Wittig Albert

Berkley, 2003

Families weave a tangled web
