4.0 out of 5 stars A Sunny Beach Read, April 5 2004
By A Customer
Oh, come C.O. Steffen. You are being harsh and ridiculous. Once again Bishop has come up with an entertaining tale to wile away an afternoon at the beach or wherever. Always clever and fun. Would recommend any of Claudia Bishop's books for an afternoon of escape.

1.0 out of 5 stars PLEASE - pass the puree!!!, Mar 20 2004
By C.O. Steffen (Michigan) - See all my reviews
My Mystery Book group read A Puree of Poison for our January selection and everyone hated it! In a word, it was just silly! We thought that Meg had a case of arrested development with all the tantrums she threw.The other quirky characters seemed more annoying than engaging. We all agreed that Dina, the receptionist, had a big mouth and major attitude problem which no employer in his right mind would have tolerated. I kept hoping for The Donald to pop up and say "You're fired!!!"

I had read the first three books in the series and had really enjoyed them, but Puree was a big disappointment.Also, I think that Claudia Bishop may have lifted the Civil War idea from the TV show "Ed." This season "Ed" had a similar episode about the reenactment of a Civil War battle which Stuckeyville had supposedly won but actually had lost. Coincidence? Who knows? Just save your time and money and pass on this puree.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the Better Ones of this Series, Feb 26 2004
By Louis M. Perdue (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was impressed with this entry in the long-running Hemlock Falls series. There were some interesting subplots: Meg, the chef sister, sometimes comes off as a caricature but not in this book; Miles may be disappearing for about a year on a secret mission...
I was also surprised to see some quite current relevant mentions in this book; e.g., Enron, Iraq.
A group of Civil War reenactors swarm into the inn at Hemlock Falls ready to reenact the 133rd anniversary of the Battle of Hemlock. Meanwhile, three of Meg's boyfriend's (Andy, a doctor) patients have died mysteriously and he asks Quill to help find out what happened. The two plots are interwoven quite nicely and also wrapped up quite satisfactorily.
I hope to see more of this series as I find it one of the more enjoyable ones out there (with the exception of just one or two earlier episodes).
