I felt like I was there...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This was a wonderful first book by Miss Claire. First, I enjoyed the characters. They were all very likabale and have wonderful potential for future character development. Next, I loved the setting. I felt like I had been dropped into the middle of their quaint neighborhood. Many times in a mystery when the characters and the setting are great, the mystery lags. Not in this story! Miss Claire keeps the action and the mystery flowing throughout the entire book. She grabs the reader at the beginning when Leigh Koslow finds an embalmed body in the hammock in her backyard. Add a slightly neurotic pregnant cousin, and you have the beginnings of a terrific story. Plus, it was a great who-done it! I am looking forward to starting Never Sorry. Thank you Edie Claire for the great read- and great job to her friends at Ingomar United Methodist Church!
Very good first of series!

This was an excellent read....the mystery was superb and the outcome was surprising! I loved the characters and really look forward to reading many more mysteries by Edie Claire.
Great mystery, setting & 3 mom/daughter relationships
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
In addition to the great mystery plot, I enjoyed the setting and the characters. Leigh Koslow is very human and very humourous. She is also more likable, more normal, and more moral than most other single female heroines. Edie Claire's writing reminds me somewhat of Joan Hess. But Joan would have written Maura as the heroine and had the Ozarks instead of Pittsburgh as the setting. I would like to read more about Maura (the police woman)and her mother. In fact the book explores three very different mother /daughter relationships: Cara has 'cut the cord' and married, Maura left but returned to care for her mom, and Leigh is still entangled in breaking that cord. I look forward to reading more about these six women.
Outstanding first book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book has all the elements of a classic mystery: evolving plot, evocative setting, and engaging characters. It was a pleasant addition to have it set in Pittsburgh, a city with its share of old neighborhoods and charming scenery. The mystery was compelling, with more than a touch of humor (cat lovers will recognize life with a spoiled, beloved,pet). I look forward to more Leigh Koslow adventures. There's plenty of possibilities here! Thank you, Ms. Claire!
Never Buried was engaging, entertaining, and well-written.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I enjoyed reading Never Buried. It was the type of mystery I enjoy---an intriguing plot with believable characters. I stray away from mysteries that are too horrific and scary because I'd never sleep at night. Never Buried was a refreshing change---it got me thinking about who did it in an entertaining way. It's a great book for an afternoon of enjoyable reading. The plot had many twists and turns---it kept my mind running! I found the main character, Leigh Koslow, to be a very likeable 90s woman with a good sense of humor. I could identify with her--- turning thirty, being single. I can't wait until Edie Claire's next book comes out so I can see what new adventure Leigh has found!
