Bloodroot (China Bayles, #10)

August 2016: re-visited via audio because I liked it so much and it was fun to listen to while sewing!
March 2016: I think this might be my favorite of the China series so far, although I love them all. This one does not take place in Pecan Springs, TX but China travels to her ancestral home in Mississippi to help her mother care for her ailing aunt. While there she becomes embroiled in a family history search, which of course was interesting to me, as she tries to track down a genetic disease in the family and discover the answer to all the mysterious happenings in her family. There is a murder and it is the framework for all that happens, but unlike other books in the series, China is not spending her time finding the murderer, but finding the family history. But then the murder becomes the linchpin to the final exciting denouement. It was a very mysterious, atmospheric novel with some ethereal otherworldly hints when an old woman with "the sight" seems to know a lot about China and her family. Very satisfying story.

Was just going to say that since I am so flexible with colours repeating, I'd rather see actual colours here. "Blood" suits, if we make a section on body parts. ;-) If this plant is edible or usable as a herb, "food" would do.
