    About this ebook

    Catering the annual pre-Easter brunch and egg hunt is a hare-raising hassle for Judith McManigle, hard-working hostess of the Hillside Manor.And this year's egg scramble gets particularly messy when the reclusive wife of a local scion is fatally perforated my a fiend dressed in a bunny suit. Never one to pass up a good murder, Judith solicits the help of her sometime-beau policeman Joe and her irrepressible Cousin Renie to get energized and get hopping down the floppy-eared assassin's trail. But soon the list of suspects is multiplying faster than a hutch-full of rabbits. And Judith might very well end up a basket case-or worse-before this whole thing is through...now the the party-planning sleuth's unsolicited snooping has put a killer hot on her cottontail!

    Mary Daheim

      The villagers of Yockenthwaite knew him as ‘Jack Dull’, ‘Jack Dolt,’ or sometimes just ‘The Dullard’. His real name was John Dullard, last in a long, illustrious line of Dullards, and a man – so they said – of quite miraculous stupidity. The kind of

      An enjoyable book based on the Easter holiday where a bunny costume takes center stage. A priest, an adoption, and a closeted gay man figure in this mystery. Interesting
    • 3/5
      The scissors-wielding Easter Bunny was the best part of the entire book...plus the green cover that I needed for...you guessed it...another challenge. The book description sounded fun and interesting...a murder by a bunny-suit clad perpetrator to be solved by the Bed-and Breakfast owner. Had the look of a laugh out loud book because a few reviewers described the book as hilarious. I was wrong or we were all reading a different book. There were way too many characters and keeping up with them was cumbersome. It still got 3 stars for a novel idea and a really cute rabbit even if it was a bit psychotic.

      Another book in the Judith McMonigle cozy series. I haven't read one in a while and found that I still enjoy Dahiem' writing.This time out it is Easter and murder is on the menu. Did the Easter Bunny do the crime?This book is the third in the series. Judith and Joe Flynn's romance is in the early stages, but Judith has shown, previously, that she is adept in finding clues and solving mysteries. Judith's mother, Gerturude, is living in the house with Judith and not in her own little flat, later built on the property. The mother is cantankerous and demanding. (A spoiled brat, in my opinion.)During pre-Easter event at the church, the reclusive wife of one of the monied families is found stabbed to death in the church. Not one to pass up a mystery, Judith starts right in investigating. The suspect list seems to grow bigger and bigger and the secrets she finds are deeper and deeper.I enjoyed it but like some of her later books better. All in all, a fun and quick read.

      Holy Terrors is the third book in Mary Daheim's Bed and Breakfast cozy mystery series. It's Good Friday, a day of fasting and abstinence (no meat) for Catholics, and widowed Judith Grover McMonigle is hungry. Her widowed mother, Gertrude 'Gertie' Grover, is being being obnoxious as usual.
    • 2/5
      I have read the first books of this series and enjoyed them. This novel, however, was tedious. There were a lot of people to keep track of. I kept getting confused as to who was who. Additionally I was unclear on the ages of the previously mentioned group of people. Maybe the ages were mentioned in passing, but I don't recall. It was difficult to wrap my head around.

      The plot seemed good. Started out good, but then it fizzled. Though there was no outward disapproval of the gay couple, there were serious undertones of homophobia specifically in reference to religion. Judith had a better "moral sense" than the killer because the killer was gay and because Judith wasn't. It was jarring.

      Def would not read again. Will try next in series though.
