Cat's Claw by Susan Wittig Albert

I think this might be book 20 of the Pecan Springs/China Bayles mystery series. So many times a series can become tired. I think there have been a few of these that I haven't liked as well as the others, but for the majority of this series, I've been very happy with her books. In this case Susan Wittig Albert was right on her game.

I really liked it. I picked it up, and barely put it down to eat or sleep. I guess it was just what I needed!
