Picked this up at the Book Thing, for BC. Realized this is the 1st in the China Bayles series, so I'd like to read it first.

From the cover -
China's herb shop in Pecan Springs, Texas, is a long way from the law firm in Houston. But China wanted to get away from if all: the power plays, the scheming, the backstabbing. Still, wherever there are people, there are problems - and even in a small town, passions can be murderous.
China's friend Jo is dead, an apparent suicide. But with the help of Ruby, a flamboyant redhead and New Age devotee, China looks behind the quaint facade of Pecan Springs and takes a suspicious look at everyone... timid, cat-crazy Violet; Jo's fiercely independent daughter, Meredith; arrogant, ambitious TV star Roz, who's returned to town with some shocking news. In a place like Pecan Springs, there are lots of friendly faces - but one of them hides the heart of a killer...

Sadly, MaryZee passed suddenly in September 2012. MaryZee's daughter is now ready to rehome her mom's books and I was willing to collect and redistribute them to keep her literary legacy alive.

MaryZee was a enthusiastic evangelist for BookCrossing and I am glad I had the opportunity to know her. She is very much missed, and I'm proud to be able to receive some of her books to share with the world.

Left on the wall around the flower bed in front of the shop.
