Summary: Fluffy & easy fun
Review: Jane Jeffry decides to beat summer boredom by enrolling in an autobiography class together with her mother. Her boredom quickly ends when the class harridan is poisoned and dies. The book is not a serious mystery, and the plot holes are occasionally large, but they're also easy to forgive because of the endearing characters and the author's ability to find the humor in every day small town life.

Summary: A Quiche before Dying
Review: Jill Churchill has written another wonderful Jane Jeffry mystery. When Jane's mother comes to visit, Jane agrees to attend a writing class with her. Little does she know one of the would-be authors has murderous intentions against another classmate. When the police don't seem to be working fast enough for Jane's taste, Jane and her friend Shelley decide to take the investigation into their own hands. This case is a tough one to crack because everyone in the class hated the victim. As if that weren't enough, everyone seems to have secrets of their own. I couldn't get to the part where the killer was revealed fast enough -- I was completely stumped! Yet when it all came out, it made so much sense -- the clues were all laid out in the book. This book was a quick, delightful read with immensely likable characters. I highly recommend it to all readers, mystery buffs or not.

Summary: Well, I didn't really like quiche before this book.........
Review: While I still remain a fan of Jill Churchill and her Jane Jeffry series, this book was a slight disappointment compared to her first two. This mystery revolves around Jane and her classmates in a week-long seminar she takes with her mother and sidekick/neighbor, Shelley. Naturally Jane gets involved when someone bumps off Mrs. Pryce, the crotchety old lady from class. Obviously it's one of the classmates, but who? Like the old saying, "too many cooks spoil the broth?" Well in this case I believe too many suspects spoiled the mystery! So while it didn't keep me from finishing the story (and guessing who did it before the end) it was a little too "busy." However, Churchill's writing style and flair for humor never cease, and for that reason it was worth reading.
