Praise for the Claire Malloy mystery series

--Kirkus Reviews on Roll Over and Play Dead
"Witty, ironic, and biting...Joan Hess has an unerring comedic instinct."-Bookpage
"Joan Hess fans will find a winning blend of soft-core feminism, trendy subplots, and a completely irreverent style that characterizes both series and the sleuth, all nicely onstage."-Houston Chronicle
"Breezy and delightful...Claire Malloy is one of the most engaging narrators in mystery."
-The Drood Review
"Whether she's hammering my funny bone or merely passing a feather beneath my nose, Joan Hess always makes me laugh. Murder only raises Joan Hess's wicked sense of humor. Enjoy!"-Margaret Maron, author of Storm Track
"Definitely entertaining. Hess deftly sprinkles red herrings and odd characters throughout."-Library Journal on The Murder at the Murder at the Mimosa Inn
"Dear Miss Demeanor is great fun...Hess's poniard is tipped with subtle wit."
