Murder at Moot Point

I do not believe Ms. Millhiser could write a bad book; this is not one of her best but if your mind is tired from stress this is one to relax with and be entertained. It was the first time I read a "Charlie Greene" mystery. The dialog between Chairlie, her mother and her daughter was entertaining at times otherwise just the typical backtalk. I don't usually go for "series" characters but once you figure out Charlie's fears and insecurities she is a comfortable main character.

My order arrived in a very timely manner and in excellent conditon. Thank you.

I read all the later ones before I found a copy of this...and it was the best of the lot. Maybe a little unbelievable in spots but so enjoyable that you don't care.

First off being a native Californian and also having been in Oregon quite a bit, the author tends to take the stereotyping a bit too far. Not all Oregonians are anti-anyone else, nor are they all New Agists. To an extent, the stereotyping detracts from the book and the plot which is actually very good. Maybe with future novels the author can avoid this. The book is very funny especially toward the end which wasn't expected. The author even made puns out of the title...once was enough. For the most part the book is intelligent and a fun read, but there were so many characters to keep track of that at certain points I would forget the relationship between the different residents of the town. Anyway, I enjoyed reading this mystery for the most part. Karen Sadler, Science Education, University of Pittsburgh
