One of my favorite authors is Susan Wittig Albert and she writes
mystery novels and is the owner of a herb shop in a small town in
Texas. Some info:

The China Bayles Mystery Series

Thyme of Death (1992) --China's first adventure. A friend dies--murder
or suicide?

Witches' Bane (1993) --China and Ruby discover that the supernatural
isn't funny.

Hangman's Root (1994) --Animal rights, academic politics, and
murder--a potent mix.

Rosemary Remembered (1995) --Who remembers the victims of crime?

Rueful Death (1996) --Grace, forgiveness, and the mystery of
community.

Love Lies Bleeding (1997) --China learns a tough lesson in love.

Chile Death (1998) --Hot stuff, folks! (Funny, too)

Lavender Lies (1999) --Mystery, murder, and a wet 'n' wild wedding

Mistletoe Man (2000) --What's Christmas without mistletoe? What's life
without Ruby? Join China as she faces both of these difficult
questions.

Nice to have gardening mixed in with romance! It is making me wish that
