Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Albert...hits all the right notes in this series debut. The plot’s believable, the Southern color brims with authenticity, and the characters are charmingly and realistically drawn...The Darling Dahlias and the Cucumber Tree blooms with success, and here’s hoping the ladies have many more opportunities to dig into crime.” —Richmond Times-Dispatch
“Readers will enjoy getting to know the spunky ladies of the club.” —RT Book Reviews
“Albert combines great period detail with surefooted sleuthing that should satisfy fans and attract new ones.” —Publishers Weekly
“Cozy fans will be delighted to learn that the prolific Albert—known for her clever puzzles, engaging characters, love of nature, and outstanding historic research—is debuting yet another exceptional series.” —Booklist (starred review)
“The author of the popular China Bayles mysteries brings a small Southern town to life and vividly captures an era and culture—the Depression, segregation, class differences, the role of women in the South—with authentic period details. Her book fairly sizzles with the strength of the women of Darling.” —Library Journal (starred review)
“The creator of herbalist China Bayles begins a new historical series equally full of intriguing characters, garden lore, and recipes that adds nostalgia for the good old days, even if they weren’t so good after all.” —Kirkus Reviews
