Nine first edition copies from Albert's 'China Bayles Mysteries' series All First Editions Bound in paper with unclipped dust wrappers Susan Wittig Albert (born 1940) is a mystery writer from Vermilion County, Illinois, United States. Her writing career has included the Nancy Drew mysteries under the penname Carolyn Keene in the 1980s. By the 1990s, Albert was ready to embark upon an independent career and wrote Thyme of Death, her first China Bayles novel. The book was warmly received, and was nominated for two national mystery awards, the Agatha and the Anthony. All seventeen of the China Bayles novels include the names of herbs, and the subsequent mysteries invariably include detailed, meticulously reported herbal themes that invoke the title. She is a popular guest speaker at both herbal clubs and women's groups. Albert has described her books as "cosy mysteries", because they do not describe much violence or gratuitous behaviour.
