Rosemary Remembered

China Bayles Mystery, Book 4

By: Susan Wittig Albert

Narrated by: Julia Gibson

China Bayles's herb shop in Pecan Springs wasn't a big business, but it kept her busy. So she brought her taxes to Rosemary Robbins, an accountant who reminded China a bit of her former self—preoccupied, distracted, maybe a bit overstressed. Still, Rosemary always seemed pleasant, and China wished she could get to know her better. Now, though, the chance is gone.

Driving out to Rosemary's house on an errand, China discovers her accountant has been murdered. With one abusive ex-husband and plenty of former clients in the picture, there's no shortage of suspects. And with a vengeful ex-convict on the loose, there's plenty for China to worry about. And as the evidence unfolds, she's more determined than ever to make the killer pay...

Mundane

I’m not sure why this story has such a high review score. The story is just too dull. I could not continue with it. The characters, which I initially thought would be interesting based on the opening sentences turned out to be quite weak. The narrator has a sing song voice which sadly I could not tolerate either.
