4.0 out of 5 stars Claire Malloy at her best!, July 6, 2000

Jenika Perry - See all my reviews

This review is from: Death by the Light of the Moon (Claire Malloy Mysteries, No. 7) (Mass Market Paperback)

Part of the charm of the Claire Malloy mysteries comes from following the characters throughout the series. I suggest that if you are interested in this book, please start with Joan Hess's first book in this series entitled "Strangled Prose". Death by Light of the Moon explores a side of Claire that we haven't ever got a glimpse of before--her in-laws! The mystery and clue development is especially strong in this novel and her characters are quirky and campy! If you enjoy a good mystery and some quick witted humor besides, this is a must read!

3.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, but not spellbinding., June 3, 2000

Jedidoug (Tatooine) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Death by the Light of the Moon (Claire Malloy Mysteries, No. 7) (Mass Market Paperback)

I found this book to be a nice light, entertaining read, but it was a little slow at the start. Things speed up nicely at the end, although some of the revelations are somewhat easy to guess. The characters are interesting, however, they seem a little too cartoony at times. This was my first Joan Hess book, but I'd be willing to try another. If you're looking for a quick, fun read this book is a good choice.

I always buy her books. Fun and without baggage like so many are these days.
