Susan Wittig Albert is giving away an advance reading copy of the latest installment in her China Bayles series, Wormwood. If you don’t know China, she used to be a high profile lawyer, but decided to switch careers and sell herbs in a small Texas town. Only she still has more to do with murder victims than she ever imagined. It’s like she’s living out Amy Stewart’s latest book, Wicked Plants. Anyway, the drawing for the book will be on March 30thMarch 28th, and I’ll be announcing the winner here. If you follow the link to the giveaway, you’ll find out why.

Update: Jinni Turkelson is the winner. For those of you who got confused, At Susan’s post she linked to her guest post on my blog. At that year-old post there is an update, which provided a link to a page on a different website of hers that had the (no longer valid) entry form.

Ah. Ah.

Well, I am obviously not going to solve any mysteries any time soon, am I?

Reading comprehension, it’s not just for elementary school!

Is there a piece missing, Kathy?

You’ll find the link to the drawing for the advance reading copy of Wormwood at the end of the post on CCG.

Color me confused.

Sorry you had trouble, Marguerite. The words “giving away an advance reading copy” link to the post on Susan’s blog where she tells you where to go to find the link to the place to enter for the drawing.

I have all the China Bayles mysteries. I am going to try to start a vegetable garden this year. The zone I am in is probably the coldest. I am in Northern Minnesota. 60 miles Northwest fo Duluth, and 100 miles south of Canada.

I’ll enter! Although I THINK it’s here. Nevertheless, I’ll be on the lookout for these books. I don’t usually like mysteries because of the violence, so this might be interesting. Thanks for the heads up.

I’ve never heard of Amy Stewart or China Bayles. But I love a good mystery so I’m going to have to check these books out.

Hi, Gayle. Just to make things clear: Amy’s book is nonfiction, about poisonous plants, many of which have shown up in Susan’s fiction mystery books.
