Product Description

A MEAL TO DIE FOR

With the kids packed off on their summer road trips, it's an ideal time for Jane Jeffry to pursue other interests, so the harried suburban mom enrolls in a writing course at the community college. But when an obnoxious aged classmate keels over dead after sampling a tasty treat from a pot luck student buffet, Jane realizes there's a culinary killer among the local would-be literati.

The pen may be mightier than the sword. . .but poison beats them both. And before the both. And before the demise of a very disagreeable old biddy can be written off, amateur sleuth Jane intends to find out who's responsible -- and cook the culprit's goose in his or her own creative juices.

3.0�toiles sur 5 Well, I didn't really like quiche before this book........., F�v 18 2003

Par Un client

While I still remain a fan of Jill Churchill and her Jane Jeffry series, this book was a slight disappointment compared to her first two. This mystery revolves around Jane and her classmates in a week-long seminar she takes with her mother and sidekick/neighbor, Shelley. Naturally Jane gets involved when someone bumps off Mrs. Pryce, the crotchety old lady from class. Obviously it's one of the classmates, but who?

Like the old saying, "too many cooks spoil the broth?" Well in this case I believe too many suspects spoiled the mystery! So while it didn't keep me from finishing the story (and guessing who did it before the end) it was a little too "busy." However, Churchill's writing style and flair for humor never cease, and for that reason it was worth reading.

4.0�toiles sur 5 Quiche This!, F�v 13 2002

Par	Ramona Honan "reviews-by-melva" (Dallas, TX USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

Jane Jeffrey, at the last minute, enrolls in a local writing course. Of course, the class is full of the usual eccentrics, including the town's totally obnoxious crone. Needless to say, the poisoned tongue this old biddy creates too much damage for one of the class members. She finally gets her comeuppance and winds up dead after sampling a bit of poisoned quiche at a class pot luck supper.

Everyone in the class has a motive for killing, and it is up to Jane to find out who did it.

Like Jill Churchill's other books, I figured out who the murderer was before the end of the book, but it was pleasant cozy mystery.

Recommend reading.

4.0�toiles sur 5 Another dessert book!, D�c 3 2001

Par	Ruth A. Caldwell "Highland Princess Mum" (Walnut Creek, CA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

Jane enrolls in a writing course only to find out the local obnoxious busy-body is also taking the course! The woman was truly outrageous with her tactless comments to her fellow classmates, so it's no wonder she was poisoned during a potluck dinner! As disagreeable as the old biddy was, Jane finds herself attempting to determine "who done it". I'd have given five stars if the old biddy had been less nasty and I wasn't so appalled at her character bashing of the fellow students.

I must be missing something because this author's books get 5 stars. However, I felt the characters were never fully developed, that they lacked depth. Read more
