I didn't get far in this one before giving up. This novel fits the subgenre of "cozy mystery" which I'm not very fond of. Basically, the kind of mystery that could fit a network movie of the week or series without anything graphic or too dark, and an amateur sleuth who finds so much murder landing a...

After the last couple of books in the series, I was not really expecting much when I read this installment. I was very pleased to discover that this book was more like the first books in the series than the recent ones. I found there was a bit to much brand-name dropping, as though the author want...

This new series just isn't my cup of tea. I'm a fan of the Mrs Murphy books and I also like the Sister Jane series. But in this series I just can't get used to the characters. I tried to give it another chance and read the second book. But it was even worse than book number one where I at least saw ...

Mrs. Murphy is definitely getting political and topical in the mysteries. This one was the almost obligatory breast cancer issue -- so it was fitting that I read it in National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Though the topical aspect of this mystery was woven better into the lives of the character...

This was back to the earlier Mrs. Murphy books, though there was a bit too little in the way of animal characters in this book.I enjoyed the mystery and the setting. As a graduate of one, I am in favour of anything that highlights smaller colleges and universities.If you read just a few of the Mrs....

This installment was closer to the earlier books in the series, in that there was much less over-the-head imparting of the author's political opinion in the book. I get that the author has an alternative lifestyle and she campaigns for acceptance, but I really don't need to be beat over the head wi...

Another fun adventure with the animals of Crozet. It was an interesting and engaging mystery, and had the wrong suspect up until the end.
