Summary: Nicely Plotted Mystery
Review: In this book, Judith McMonigle does the catering for a church brunch and Easter egg hunt. Sometime during the brunch one of her neighbors, who had just received a big inheritance, is stabbed to death in the nursery. Although Judith had decided not to get involved in any more mysteries, her cousin Renie soon persuades her to investigate the murder.

This is one of the better written books in this "cozy" mystery series. There are a lot of twists and turns in the plot before the murderer is revealed. One twist in particular was well done and took me completely off guard.

One complaint I have about the book is that Gertrude, Judith's mother, seems even more abrasive than usual in this book. I wish her insults to Judith (and vice versa) had been toned down, neither one of them comes off as sympathetic characters during their exchanges. And perhaps Mary Daheim meant for the scenes with Sweetums, Judith's cat, to be humorous, to me it was animal abuse and unpleasant to read.

Still, despite my quibbles, I enjoyed this book and will keep reading the series.

Summary: The Easter Bunny murder
Review: Judith McMonigle does the catering for a church brunch and Easter egg hunt. During the course of the morning she spots someone in a rabbit suit exiting the church in a hurry. Later, it is discovered that a murder has taken place and the rabbit suit is covered with the victim's blood. Judith knows who was orginally in the suit, but does not know if someone else stole the suit before commiting the murder. The murder victim is discovered to have a surprising secret and this leads Judith to try to solve the mystery, despite crossing paths with her ex-fiance, Joe Flynn. This is an entertaining "cozy" and it takes many twists and turns before the murderer is revealed.

Summary: I like the charecters but it was very perdictable!!!!
Review: This is one of the earlier books in the series. Judith is getting ready for Easter on the Hill. The annual SOTS Easter Egg Hunt is Easter Saturday, so Judith brings some of Gertrude's famous potato salad to the event. Neighbor Wilbur Paine is the Easter Bunny. Judith thought that all had gone pretty well, until she is informed that one of her neighbors, who had just received a big inheritance, was stabbed to death in the nursery. Joe asks for her help and she of course can't say no.

This is one of the best books in the series. Judith and Renie's attempts to investigate are hilarious, as are their neighbors and family. Every time I pick up one of Daheim's books I hope for one like this but unfortunately, the later ones are less and less funny and more silly. I hope to find more like this one.

Review: This is the First book i have read by Mary Daheim. She is a Good author who makes very good charecter development but she should focus more on the plot and the mystery. I am not a person to give awayt the story or to tell you parts i like and dislikes because that will be something that you will have to decide for yourself. I will continue to read more of her books but i hope her others are a lot more exciting and with alot more twist and turns!!
