Product Description
From Booklist
Maggie Olenski, a children's book author and amateur sleuth, heads for picturesque Cedar Hill, New Hampshire, to complete a book and do a little skiing. Within hours of arriving, she and friend Dyna Hall witness an acrimonious town meeting concerning the conversion of a ski resort to a granite mine. When the mine's developer is murdered and a friend of Maggie and Dyna's becomes the prime suspect, Maggie launches her own investigation. Hughes capably combines elements of both cozy and environmental mysteries. The characters are engaging, the plot has more twists than a tough ski slope, and there is plenty of cozy ambience, thanks to a charming cat, much attention to food, and the ski resort setting. Fans of Diane Mott Davidson's Goldy Bear series or Leslie Meier's Lucy Stone novels should add this series to their lists. John Rowen

Taste of Death,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Taste of Death (Hardcover)
I consider this book as very interesting and enjoyable reading. The story was well developed, kept the reader interested, did not get off track or onto uninteresting sidetracks, and had a very surprising ending. I think this book rates top honors.

"a taste of death" by Mary Ellen Hughes,
By Ronald J. Thomson (Glen Burnie, MD United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Taste of Death (Hardcover)
This is the author's second mystery novel. A delightful read. Mystery and suspense without blood and gore. Set in a small town in New Hampshire (you can feel the cold), a murder victim and lots of suspects. Maggie, the outsider, tries to help an old friend. I was getting to the end, anxious to find out who done it(I guessed wrong), but sorry the book would soon be done.I enjoyed Mary Ellen Hughes' first book also - "Resort to Murder". Maggie's sleuthing career starts here.
