Product Description

Synopsis

During a supposedly relaxing retreat at a Texas convent, herbalist China Bayles and her friend Maggie, an ex-nun, investigate the seemingly accidental death of the Mother Superior and uncover a deadly conflict within the walls of the cloister.


From the Author

Book Five in the China Bayles herbal mystery series
In this book, I wanted to show the beginning of a change in China. Her visit to St. Theresa's monastery teaches her about the power of forgiveness and grace--important lessons for this self-sufficient, independent woman.

5.0 out of 5 stars This was a great story!, 28 Aug 1998
By A Customer
How can you not like China Bayles? She is the kind of character that it truely believable. I enjoyed this story because of the unusual setting -- at St. Theresa's Monastery. China decides her hectic life could use a break, and she goes on retreat. It was interesting to see that the nuns were portrayed as real people. It was also refreshing to see China making mistakes (like the rest of us do). I enjoyed the story and can't wait for the next China Bayles mystery!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Her Best, 26 Nov 1998
By A Customer
Susan Albert writes great mystery books but this one is not up to her usual high standards. Her sleuth, China Bayles, has been uprooted from Pecan Springs and transplanted in an abbey (she's on vacation). Nuns are not as amusing as witches (read Witches Bane!) and they are not as colorful as the inhabitants of Pecan Springs (I sure missed Ruby!). This is her worst book so far, but it is still pretty good, just not as good as her others.
