I wonder if this may be the case with Albert. I think she's a good author, but her last several China Bayle books have seemed a bit uneven to me. I think she may have taken a wrong turn when she decided to concentrate so much on China's domestic life. I don't find McQuaid to be leading man material, and I think her books would be more interesting if he were not so much in the forefront. I hope she can find a way to revitalize China's stories.This book felt a bit slow. The olive oil information was interesting, but the secondary characters weren't believable or sympathetic to me. The McQuaid storyline didn't really engage me. By midpoint, I was ready to shoot him, if only to make him shut up about his guilt trip. This is the first China book that I just didn't care about finishing.Still, the early books in the series are definitely good reading, and also the one about about the Galveston flood. That one was exceptionally good. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Two suspenseful stories for the price of one! *by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2017* China and McQuaid are not happy when they are awakened by an early morning phone call particularly when it is to find out that a sex trade murderer that McQuaid had apprehended had broken out of prison and had vowed to kill everyone who had put him there and had started with the DA and his wife. China was supposed to go to the Last Chance Olive Ranch to do a workshop and have a retreat weekend with Ruby. She wanted to stay with McQuaid, but he insisted that she go.Perhaps, if McQuaid had known what kind of trouble awaited China at the ranch he might have had second thoughts. This book reminded me of The Gift of the Magi in some perverse way.Both of the stories were attention grabbing and well constructed. I liked the characters and felt that they were nuanced. I would recommend this book to people who like cozy mysteries or who like well drawn characters. Don't miss this one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Albert's China Bayles series has always been a favorite of mine *by R***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2018* Albert's China Bayles series has always been a favorite of mine. Getting to know the characters through numerous books makes a good series a special home for the reader. When I received Last Chance Olive Ranch and saw that it included another lone woman fighting to retain her land, I wondered if Albert was beginning to repeat plots. No chance. This one, even for a long time reader like me, has an unexpected freshness. Albert's attention to detail gives realism to her hair-raising plots. Her ever deepening characters reveal new facets of their personalities while showing once again the qualities that we recognize and depend upon in them. This book is especially interesting in that it has a double plot -- China and her redoubtable husband McQuaid are on different perilous adventures at the same time.Her wry humor has thrilled me since the first sentence in the first book --"If I had known how the week was going to turn out, I would have sent it back first thing Monday and asked for a refund."If you want a well-plotted book that features numerous likable and sometimes quirky people in bizarre situations, one that involves you on page one and never stops galloping, this is the book for you. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Last Chance Olive Ranch (China Bayles Mystery) - Susan Wittig Albert (China Bayles Mystery) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/40782213-the-last-chance-olive-ranch-china-bayles-mystery-hardcover-april](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/40782213-the-last-chance-olive-ranch-china-bayles-mystery-hardcover-april) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-08-29*
