A Perfect Cozy!
27 Feb 2003
Format:Hardcover
Birthday Party Murder, one of the best in the Lucy Stone series, could serve as a model for anyone who wants to write in this genre. Heroine Lucy Stone deals with her own spreading waistline, a daughter's co-ed slumber party, a son's first-year college woes, a job on the local paper, a husband who's supportive but busy, an old lady whose newly discovered relatives seem a little odd...and oh yes, she's asked to investigate the murder of a lawyer who had just set up a meeting with that same little old lady.
If you've ever tried to write a novel, you will appreciate the author's skill as she gathers these plot lines together in a seamless whole. Most readers will guess at least part of the outcome but that's part of the fun. Meier evokes the seasons and celebrations of a small New England town and life in a family that's doing well as long as mom brings home a paycheck. Lucy and her husband Bill are a long-married couple and it shows.
A great escape for a dreary day or a plane ride. When you close the covers, you wish you could hang around with them a little longer.

Leslie Meier has never been better...
8 Aug 2002
Format:Hardcover
I was excited to see a new Lucy Stone mystery in our local bookstore. I bought a copy of the hardcover book and am euphoric about it's story. Leslie Meier has outdone herself in the latest Lucy Stone mystery. Meier's writing gets better and better along the way. I wish I could have pretended this book was mine and read it aloud at readings. I couldn't put the book down. I read it in one sitting and enjoyed it as usual. Anyone who hasn't read anything by Leslie Meier, where have you been? Birthday Party Murder is a great place to start. I have read all of Meier's books, but none of them compare to this one. If you've been following Leslie Meier's mysteries, you won't be dissapointed in her most recent Lucy Stone thriller!

5 Stars for the Cake!
18 Mar 2008
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I really enjoyed this installment in the Lucy Stone series. It was very exciting. The major recurring theme throughout the book was aging. Lucy is fighting Mother Nature. It was humerous when she bought the expensive brand of skin care that her best friend Sue told her to buy.
Sherman Cobb is murdered but the cops think it is suicide. Lucy gets to the truth in this matter.
Miss Tilley is one of my favorite characters in this series. She certainly didn't disappoint me in this book.
I thought this was a well written addition to this series.
