Hemlock Falls is a pretty little town in upstate New York. Sarah 'Quill' Quilliam, with her talent for business, runs the Inn at Hemlock Falls, while her sister, Meg, keeps the guests happy with her culinary abilities. But when it comes to murder, the Quilliam sisters have to rely on other skills-spotting clues, solving crimes, and catching culprits. A nudie bar in Hemlock Falls? Not if the good ladies of the village have anything to say about it. And just yesterday the MacAvoy barn burned to a crisp-and a body was discovered inside. What is this town coming to? Quill and Meg have a feeling that the two incidents may be connected, but they already have their hands full. With Meg's wedding only days away, this bride doesn't have time for bodies; she has her own problems to worry about, like a serious case of cold feet and a chef whose supreme culinary skills are threatening to take over her kitchen.

I find them extremely repetitious - if you've read one, you've pretty much read them all except for plot details. I don't find the two main characters, Sarah (Quill) and Meg particularly endearing. Sarah is a fool and Meg is an explosive tantrum thrower, which I find a little wearisome. An exemplar of what I don't like about this series is Max the dog. For five or six books at least, Max has been running wild, infuriating the other townspeople, and causing various kinds of damage. Get a dog chain! Get kennel fencing! Get a leash! This might be amusing if I didn't have to carry a large stick to ward off other dogs when I walk my own.
I'm also not terribly fond of "gourmet" food - I wouldn't care to even taste most of the dishes that this celebrated chef prepares, but clearly that does interest a lot of people, so take that into consideration when deciding. There is usually at least one recipe in each book.
Another point is that if I'm going to read farce, I want it completely off the wall, not mixed with reality. I know that some people will be extremely amused by things that leave me rolling my eyes.
If you're looking for something to read, you could do a lot worse, and individually they can be cute and charming. ( )
