"A long running series featuring a former lawyer turned gardener and herbalist. It appeals to the green and kitchen witch sides of me. Plus her store is connected to a new age store run by her clairvoyant best friend who is always near by."

"I read a couple of chapters of one of the books of this series (couldn't find the first one so I was reading a later one) and just couldn't get into it. Partly, perhaps, the Kindle edition had wide spaces between paragraphs which somehow seemed to affect the emphasis on statements and plot points in a very annoying way. Perhaps if I had a different version I'd have done better with it."

"The first book of the series, it is a mystery with lots of twists and the ending is not so predictable. "
