Descriptions du produit

From Publishers Weekly

Murder and suspicion of witchcraft in a small Texas town draw attorney-turned-herbalist China Bayles into her second case (after Thyme of Death ). Rumors of devil worship are rampant in Pecan Springs following the probable suicide of a teenager and the unexpected deaths of a transient and a nursing home resident. The turmoil increases when the Reverend Billy Lee Harbuck begins picketing the Crystal Cave, a New Age shop, claiming that the owner, China's friend Ruby Wilcox, and her customers are practicing witchcraft. Wealthy Sybil Rand, notorious for maintaining a garden of poisonous plants, is found murdered with Ruby's knife after a feminist Halloween party attended by assorted goddess worshippers. Ruby becomes the prime suspect. Other candidates for the murderer's role are Ruby's newest love interest, Andrew Drake, who has a mysterious past and may have been Sybil's lover, and, despite his excellent alibi, the widower, C. W. Rand, managing partner of a nearby resort and sometime ladies' man. As China and her lover, criminal justice professor and ex-cop Mike McQuaid, delve into the case, China must cope with her feelings for an alcoholic mother who is finally taking control of her own life. Albert's lively mystery captures the flavor of a modern small-town being reshaped by big-city refugees. Mystery Guild alternate.

From Library Journal

A former fast-lane lawyer, now an herb-shop proprietress, China Bayles has both the expertise and the time to help her friends when they get into trouble. After police accuse best friend Ruby's new boyfriend of a cultlike murder, China charges to the rescue. A local anti-Satan, anti-witchcraft, anti-anything-different preacher with a grudge against the two women becomes the prime suspect. This novel has a nicely constructed plot and captivating characters and dialog. Even better than Thyme of Death ( LJ 11/1/92).

4.0étoiles sur 5 Witch hunt in Pecan Springs, Jui 17 2004
Par Karen Potts (Lake Jackson, Texas) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
China Bayles has given up the big-city life of a Houston attorney and enjoys running her herb shop in the Hill Country of Texas. She rents half of her building to Ruby Wilcox who runs a New Age shop next door. Ruby starts a Tarot class and is surprised when the two businesses are picketed by a group led by the Reverend Billy Lee Harbuck who accuses them of being witches. Sybil Rand, one of the Tarot class members, decides to have a Halloween party for her friends, and soon she is killed in a ritualistic manner. This give fuel to the anti-satanic crowd and China and Ruby find themselves in the middle of a murder investigation. Police officers decide that Ruby's boyfriend may have committed the murder, so Ruby has an even bigger motivation to find the real killer. Soon another murder takes place, and China begins to make a short list of suspects. Before it's all over, China's life is put in danger. This plot is wound around China's personal life which features a love affair with Mike McQauid, a professor of criminal justice at the local college. As usual, the Hill Country and China's herb garden create an interesting background to the solving of a mystery.

4.0étoiles sur 5 First great China Bayles novel.., Jui 4 2004
Par Peter LaPrade (worcester ma) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
"Witches Bane" is the second China Bayles book, and better than the first. This one takes place about a year after the first book. A firebrand teleevangelist targets Rudy Wilcox as being a witch. China, of course, comes to her friend's defense. But the preacher is the least of their worries. Someone is killing animals for ritual, and soon, a woman is murdered after being sent the "Death" card. Ruby comes under suspiction as her tarot knife was the murder weapon. There are a few suspects, including the woman's husband, a real-estate developer with a cash-flow problem. China and Rudy strive to find the killer, and nearly get killed in the process. The identity of the killer is shocking, and as is the motive. Highly recommended as a good mystery(although it bashes Christianity a little too much)

4.0étoiles sur 5 Another fun read by Albert., Juil 6 2001
Once again, China Bayles, herb shop owner/ex-lawyer, finds herself tangled up in a messy murder. Her best friend, Ruby, is accused of being a witch, and an acquaintance of theirs is found murdered. Although China has good intentions and plans to stay out of it, she is drawn in and ends up right in the middle of everything. The characters are fun, some are wacky, but they all serve a purpose in the overall story. I also enjoy the author's in-depth information regarding herbs and their uses, and the insight into the Wiccan religion. The continuing storyline between China and her boyfriend, McQuaid (an ex-cop) also keeps us wondering what is going to happen next.
