      China is summoned by her mother to the home of her great-aunt Tullie at Jordan's Crossing, the plantation that had been in her mother's family for generations. Her mother's phone call had not been a simple invitation but a demand. There was a mysterious disappearance of a man only hours after Aunt Tullie had whacked him in the head with her cane. The more questions China asks, the more confusing and detailed the story becomes, until she finds herself discovering answers to secrets long buried by her ancestors. Nothing is as it seems in her mother's family, and some questions are never meant to be answered.My mother always said you shouldn't shake your family tree too much because a monkey might fall out of it. That is a warning that China should have taken to heart in this tale. This book was completely different from others in this series, different setting, different feel to the characters, but I have to say it was one of the best ones I've read so far. I had the whole thing figured out way before China did and there were several times with I wanted to reach out and shake her and tell her to get back to her room and READ, but I still enjoyed this tale. It gets a 4 from me.

      This China Bayles novel is very different from the others in the series. It has a bit of a darker feel to it. China travels with her mother to the Louisiana home of an elderly great-aunt and uncovers the answers to a number of questions about her family's troubled past. A very good read.

      Not my favorite, takes place in her deep South home town
