This is the popular China Bayles series. It is usually set in the hill country of Texas but China has been called to the Mississippi Delta, the ancestral home, by her mother who is worried about her great aunt Tillie. China gets involved with finding a missing man who has claim over some ancient property rights....but then disappears. Five generations of secrets come to surface in this story. China must set straight a lot of wrongs for everyone to come to peace with the present. A suspenseful tale of past and present mysteries. China really works hard in this one and it is a great southern tale....nicely written!
As a Texas herb gardener who loves murder mysteries, I could not be happier with this series by Susan Wittig Albert. China Bayles, a burned-out lawyer turned herbalist and part-time sleuth is just my most favorite friend now. This book in the series takes you to Mississippi and makes you want to stay there. Back to her youth and earliest memories become painful and dangerous for China Bayles and a must read for you. Nelda
