5.0�toiles sur 5 China's back -- in more ways than one!, Mai 10 2002

Par	MLPlayfair (Ravenna, OH) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Lavender Lies (Paperback)

LAVENDER LIES is about the eighth China Bayles novel. Albert is SUCH a good writer, her books are a true pleasure to read -- and hard to put down. This one may be the most fun so far, as the wacky women work together to solve the multi-layered mystery while China and McQuaid prepare for their possibly doomed wedding. I look forward to my visits to Pecan Springs, Texas. And I appreciate her little herb-related quotes, myths, and recipes. I've never actually made anything from a recipe in these books, but I must say Ruby's Lemonade with Lavender and Rosemary sounds like heaven on earth. And what my objection was in the last book was that McQuaid did all the work and called all the shots -- this time the very competent ladies -- with China back in charge -- do it all. And it's a lot of fun.

3.0�toiles sur 5 getting predictable, Avril 30 2002

Par	Kelly L. (www.FantasyLiterature.com) (Columbia, MO United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Lavender Lies (Paperback)

Susan Wittig Albert's mystery novels are still enjoyable, but I'm beginning to figure out the "pattern" behind them. At the risk of committing a **SPOILER**, it seems that there is always one character who doesn't seem to have any reason to be in the book, just sort of shoehorned in, and that person always turns out to have done it. I hope the next few novels contain more twists.

4.0�toiles sur 5 The Best For Awhile!!, Sep 30 2001

Par	S. Schwartz "romonko" (alberta canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Lavender Lies (Paperback)

This is a good China Bayles mystery. I was a little disillusioned after the previous two in the series, but this is a great one. I really enjoyed the story, and the wedding sideline was a great one. China is her usual rushed self in this story, and she's trying hard to concentrate only on her upcoming nuptials, but gets involved in spite of herself with another murder. This murder is of a citizen of Pecan Springs, who no one will really miss that much (except his wife). He's a sharpy, and he gets cut on his own misdeeds. The story moves along swiftly, and we see China trying to get wedding plans in amongst murders, hurricanes and faled wedding cakes. It's great. Read this for a whomping good ride.
