Much to their dismay, the Quilliam sisters have sold the Inn at Hemlock Falls. Worse yet, the new owner is turning a pretty profit. But when a Texas cattleman winds up dead on the premises, the sisters are back in business. They're out to catch the culprit and reclaim their precious inn--without getting stampeded themselves. Recipes included.

4.0 out of 5 stars Where's the beef?, Aug 1 2001
By Karen Potts (Lake Jackson, Texas) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Quill and Meg Quilliam have sold the Inn at Hemlock Falls to Marge Schmidt in exchange for her diner, which they now run as the gourmet restaurant, The Palate. Marge has renamed the Inn and now calls it the Doo Drop Inn. She also has allowed some Texas businessmen to graze their cattle there and is trying to convince some of the local citizens to participate in a deal to sell the beef. The Quilliam sisters are horrified at what is going on and decide that they want to buy back the Inn and return it to what it was. While they are working on this, dead bodies begin to show up at an alarming rate. Quill and Meg are uncertain whether it is one of the townspeople, the cattlemen, or visiting Russians who is the perpetrator. After the usual false leads, they discover the hard way what has happened. This is a "cozy" which is definitely up to Claudia Bishop's usual standards.

5.0 out of 5 stars A nice summer read, Jul 18 1999
By A Customer
If you enjoy the Inn at Hemlock Falls series, you'll enjoy this latest entry. I must agree that I am dismayed that the sisters sold the inn, but it looks like that won't be a problem anymore. These are a comfortable, enjoyable read and should be a must for all who enjoy this kind of story.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun cozy, May 11 1999
By A Customer
Sisters Sarah and Meg Quilliam miss the Inn at Hemlock Falls that they were forced to sell before they went bankrupt. They now run a profit-making restaurant in town. Sarah wants to buy back the Inn, but the current owner is making a profit and demands a sum beyond the means of the Quilliam siblings.

At the same time, several Texas cattle ranchers and their cattle are staying at the Inn. The Texans want to work a deal with the local residents. The townsfolk would raise the special breed of Longhorn cattle that is much leaner and healthier, but lacks the quality taste of the Angus breed, which is normally sold. Meg, a gourmet chef, is working on a sauce to improve the steak's taste. However, one of the cattle ranchers dies from an apparent heart attack that turns out to be murder. This places the Quilliam sisters back in the comfortable role of amateur sleuths, especially when more murders follow.

A STEAK IN MURDER, the seventh Hemlock Fall mystery, retains the mouth watering taste attained by the six previous novels. The siblings remain entertaining amateur sleuths supported by a host of local eccentric characters that provide depth and warmth to the story line. The other protagonists keep the story moving forward at a fast pace. Sub-genre readers will relish the main dish of a story line as Claudia Bishop's cozy continues to be fun to read.
