Holly Blues
The China Bayles Herbal Mysteries
By Susan Wittig Albert

If you’re a lover of mysteries, check out the 18-book


series based in the fictional Hill Country town of
Pecan Springs, Texas. The lastest book is Holly Blues,
published this year.

From the author’s website: “It’s Christmas in Pecan


Springs—maybe a blue Christmas, with the current
downturn in the economy, the sadness of young
Caitlin (China’s niece and now adopted daughter),
and the abrupt reappearance of Bad-Penny Sally,
McQuaid’s ex-wife and Brian’s mom.”
