    <body><![CDATA[I think this is Charlaine's very first.  Yeah yeah yeah, no Sookie.<br/>It was ok.  I didn't love the main character, so how could I really care if her life was in danger?<br/>I have great faith that her writing will flourish w/ each book since I am so in love w/ her new stuff...(Bill's voice...&quot;...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73262460">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[One of the first mysterieis published by this author, and even in 1981 you can see the possibilities.  Small-town reporter Catherine Linton returns to Lowfield, MS after the car accident  that kills her parents.  Secrets, blackmail and more not so accidental deaths make for a fine debut to the cozy ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68473410">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I mark this three stars in the best possible way...not high literature, but a fun one day read. This is Charlaine Harris in a ripping-good traditional mystery (no vampires as in her more well known series). I don't know if you'd really call her main character a sleuth, but she sure is in a mess of t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59390674">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It was an interesting story.  I guessed the &quot;who&quot; about three quarters of the way through, but didn't know the &quot;why&quot; until the very end.  Well, the specific &quot;why&quot; anyway.  I had the general &quot;why&quot; down at the beginning.  I didn't care for the main character.

    <body><![CDATA[I read this book a year or so ago and just came across it on my shelves.  The book was an okay read, but the big mystery uncovered at the end was not good and left me feeling like, &quot;What, is that it?&quot;.  Not serious enough for what had transpired throughout the story.]]></body>
