Synopsis

This 19th mystery in the China Bales series is a cozy herbal treat from national best-selling author Susan Wittig Albert.

Assigned to cover the story, an intern from the local paper gets too deeply involved. When she disappears, China is determined to find her-before the young journalist becomes headlines herself.

I liked this book much more when I originally read it. Now, it seems rife with fluffy BS and pandering to anti-GMO conspiracists. The story itself is OK.......more
