Customer Reviews

Claire Malloy at her best!

Part of the charm of the Claire Malloy mysteries comes from following the characters throughout the series. I suggest that if you are interested in this book, please start with Joan Hess's first book in this series entitled "Strangled Prose". Death by Light of the Moon explores a side of Claire that we haven't ever got a glimpse of before--her in-laws! The mystery and clue development is especially strong in this novel and her characters are quirky and campy! If you enjoy a good mystery and some quick witted humor besides, this is a must read!
