Buried by Breakfast by Claudia Bishop

krikketgirl's review against another edition

1.0

It's rare that I can't find something to like about a book, but this one failed me on every level: the characters are unlikable. There's a high body count for no real reason. There is zero detection, and at least three unresolved loose ends: I actually checked to make sure the book wasn't missing pages at the end. Poorly written, poorly edited, poorly proofread. Do yourself a favor and pass.

Quill and her sister and friend Marge get involved in solving a murder in their town. A judge comes to town to hear a case and the jury is staying at Quill's Inn. Marge's ex husband shows up as he is supposed to be on the jury. He ends up dead which leads them to an old accident and the reason behind some of the other deaths.
Quill deals with her boyfriend being far away and the local cops are just not quite up to his capabilities. Her cousin shows up and is acting very strange and she is supposed to be learning about the Inn and how to cook.

This is book 12 of the Hemlock Falls series. My library only had books 12 & 13, so I will be going back to see if I can find/request any of the older ones. Anyway, the series centers on a pair of sisters who run an inn in the town of Hemlock Falls, New York. Apparently there are a lot of murders in this small town. Several happen in this particular novel. I liked some of the characters quite a bit, the writing style was easy to read, and I liked the twist at the end. However, it seemed too convenient the way everything was revealed at the end. The novel was kind of short, so another chapter or two wouldn't have hurt anything. I liked the book enough to pursue others in the series, so it was good enough for a summer afternoon of reading :-).

Doesn't work as a mystery ... more an I Love Lucy type situation comedy
