Damsels in Distress Audiobook

" This book was good. I will probably read more of her mysteries. "

" It was a cute mystery. "

" When I'm looking for fun, mindless reading, I seek out mysteries. I was in the airport looking for a quick read, when I saw Joan Hess's Damsels in Distress on the sale table. I'd been years since I'd read a book from the Claire Malloy series. Although not my favorite characters, I was fun to see the reluctant detective do her thing. This book reminded me that I sometimes need to take a break from reading professional books, children/ya, and nonfiction. Joan Hess is a great choice, because her murder mysteries are always great leisure reading. "

" Never got into it enough to finish. Didn't even stay long enough to find out who died. "

" Okay, but I'm not going to check out her other books. "

" This is the first book I've read by Joan Hess and I loved it! The characters were great. I can definitely see myself reading another one. "

" light, easy to read, easy to put down. I usually enjoy Hess but struggled with this book. Probably my mood. "

" I find Joan Hess' books funny and just what you need for a mindless read. I don't mean that negatively! But this book was just annoying - it seemed to be endless and I had trouble sticking with it till the end. "

" I am reading this for a class, but I find myself actually enjoying it. Sarcastic and funny with a mystery. Not something I thought I would like, but I might actually read more of them. "

" I loved this one that takes place at a Pen Fair. "

" Anyone who's been witness to a renaissance fair will be sure to get a kick out of this one! "

" I enjoyed Damsels in Distress, as I have enjoyed all Ms Hess's books. "

" The story line/mystery was very good, but I couldn't like the heroine. "

" Guess I am just a Joan Hess fan. Another great series for lovers of the cozy mystery mixed with dry humor. "

" I have read all of Joan Hess' Claire Mallory series. I like them a lot. A good, funny, mystery read. "

" Another in the Claire Malloy series. Claire and her daughter get involved in a Renaissance Faire, and one of the participants is killed in a fire. No one seems to have known the woman very well, and the fire was deliberately set. Who was she and who wanted her dead? "

" Another deliciously deviant Claire Malloy mystery! Lots of interesting characters, plot twists, and colorful insults. A load of fun! "

" This is a mystery set at a renaissance faire. I was very disappointed in the book! She spends all of the book knocking ren faires and the people that work there. The actual faire was in only a small amount in the book, and it wasn't a very good one. The mystery was a bit too soap-opery for me too. "

" Bookstore owner and amateur detective Claire Malloy gets caught up in a rennasisance group ARSE. There is a murder. Now which fair lady or knight did the deed. Claire figures it out before her police detective Peter does. "

" Murder at a Renaissance Fair. Will stop reading Joan Hess for now, but still did enjoy this one. "

" I was on a long road trip and had borrowed from Library to listen to. Probably would not have finished it and I been home. "

" Sharp, lively and always entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit with Claire,her daughter Caron and fiance Peter. Clever plot with lots of red herrings and only an occasional glimpse of the solution before you got there. "

" A random murder mystery series I picked up- I love the main character. She's a single mom in a small Arkansas town who owns a book shop. The writing is very funny- I laughed out loud several times. "

" A nice bit of fluff! Good beach or summer afternoon reading. "

" Joan Hess writes to entertain. Hasn't failed me yet. "

" A jester comes into Claire’s book store and starts the entire thing off. Claire and her daughter become involved in the planning of a renaissance fair. Soon a body is found in a burned house and Claire is also involved in the investigation. Kind of off-beat characters make a typical cozy. "
