A Page Turner!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
From the first page, I was "sucked" into this book. The characters were interesting and real. I found myself thinking about the characters and the story throughout my day. I couldn't wait to see what would happen to Maggie next. I really liked the fact that Maggie is a teacher - I could relate to her thinking (I'm also a teacher) as she solved the mystery. The author wrote a suspensful and thrilling mystery. You'll love it! I've told all my friends about it!
Spell-binding
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Resort to Murder met my criteria of a spell-binding mystery because it kept me totally absorbed. I wanted to know how the plot unfolded and continued to read until I learned the identify of the murderer and why that person felt compelled to take such drastic steps. An added bonus was being able to relate to the setting because it is near where I live.

Interesting plot, fun reading
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I really enjoyed this book. It kept my interest from page one thru to the end. And the end was a surprise. I did not successfully guess the murderer and the story gets exciting near the end which makes it hard to put down. I give it a high rating for enjoyment and suspense.
Murder without Mayhem
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Resort to Murder's unassuming, school-teacher sleuth loves math puzzles and tennis, and the plot bounces back to the '70s to pick up a complication or two. Author Hughes links several murders and uses a minimum of violence to enhance suspence rather than to drench readers in gore. This is just what one would hope for in a Resort; relaxation and refreshment.
