Hemlock Falls Mysteries #1-2
A Plateful of Murder
The first two Hemlock Falls mysteries?a winning recipe for mystery lovers.
A Taste for Murder takes readers to the festival at Hemlock Falls, featuring a reenactment of the 17th-century witch trials. But this year the mock execution becomes all too real when a guest at the Inn is crushed under a pile of stones. The killer has not been identified?yet.
In A Dash of Death, Helena Houndswood is the epitome of class when the cameras are rolling. Behind the scenes, this expert on style is a snob with a heart of stone. She?s furious to hear that the decidedly déclassé women of Hemlock Falls have won her TV show?s design contest. When one winner goes missing and the other is found dead, Helena falls under suspicion. Murder can be so tacky.

A good read. Interesting characters and a good mystery. Loved having two books in one.

I guess I've been reading lots of light mysteries lately...I grabbed this honestly because it says on the cover, "includes recipes from the Inn at Hemlock Falls"....I'm a sucker for recipes....but TWO in the entire book? Are you kidding me? Two stories inside one cover, and they are also above average, light reading. Blah, blah, blah!

March 14, 2017The first two stories in the Hemlock Falls Mysteries. They were ok, I like her other mystery series better.

Having enjoyed the Beaufort and Company mysteries, I thought I'd try another series by the same author. Very different - much more traditional, but with an entertaining cast of characters.

I preferred the first novel, A Taste for Murder over the second, A Dash of Death. The second novel did, however, leave me laughing out loud at the end.

I really enjoyed these two stories. Will look for more in this series.
