Audio-DNF
Had to hard stop at part 5 (in the audio markings) at a word I find detestable, used in a way that was absolutely unnecessary. The character involved is a (recently revived) Christian that swears and leaves notes condemning people in their hotel rooms..and the owner can't get her to stop. WHAT? Uh. NO. Just NO. I checked the first release date. 1994. The statement by the character did not move the plot along and did not have any bearing on the story (up to the point I stopped reading). I was so hoping for a cozy little mystery after reading serious thrillers. Besides that, the characters were not very likable. The owner can't control any of her staff, including her explosive sister. Everyone else seemed to be very predictable and overdone. I wish her the best but I won't be reading a second book.

A murder happens during Hemlock Falls History Days and Quill and Meg try to figure out "whodunit". Not bad for a first novel in a series. I had figured out who the murderer was early on, but as the novel progressed, I questioned my thought. Claudia Bishop did a nice job of leading us away from the real murderer and back again.
