Reader Reviews
Sarah Quilliam knows she made one when she sold the Inn. If you've ever moved away from a house you cared about and had a chance to see it later, only to find that it's been changed in ways you hate, you'll understand how Quill feels. Marge Schmidt hasn't just changed the name to the Dew Drop Inn. Quill is similarly taken aback by what's happened to the bar and the rose garden -- and there's reason to fear for the koi. Each of the people who die in this book made a bad decision, but theirs proved fatal. I haven't read all the earlier books, so I don't know if Carol Ann Spinoza is a new character. She's so nasty that first I worried about how her children were going to turn out -- then actively hoped her husband would be made a widower. Yes, there are Chamber of Commerce meetings and yes, Quill is going to do some more of her doodles that I wish we could get to see. (As usual, the persons captured in the doodles should be glad we can't.) Is romance in the air for Marge? Will Quill's Myles disapprove of her meddling? Can the cowboys & the potential investors mix? Can Quill buy the inn back? This is a worthy entry in a good cozy series. I would like to note, though, for the non-Nero Wolfe fans, that the mention of the great detective in chapter six has one of those errors that spell-check can't catch. The word is "hospitality", not "hostility."
