Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Fall comes to Pepin County with a vengeance as Deputy Sheriff Claire Watkins confronts a new evil festering beneath the placid surface of the Wisconsin farm community. A refugee from the Twin Cities, Claire has slowly adapted to small-town life - especially now that she loves and lives with Rich Haggard. But in this rural area, other folks are dangerously restless.
One is Daniel Reiner, a wealthy part-time resident who’s been buying up too much land - at least as far as the locals are concerned. Another is gambling addict and aging gold digger Patty Jo Tilde, who recently married a widower twenty years her senior. Patty is itching to inherit her husband’s property, sell it to Reiner, and leave the countryside behind. The only stumbling block - her husband must die.
Add to the mix a suspicious goat-herding daughter-in-law and a wounded elk, and things quickly reach a boiling point. As Claire Watkins delves deeper into the mystery, she believes she’s uncovered a deadly history of lies, deceit, arson, and poison. Her problem is to prove it - and then she learns what happened to Patty Jo’s last husband. . . .

I really like the characters in this series, but felt that this book was not as good as some of the others in the series. Some parts went along great, and some lagged. Claire seemed very restless in this one, and started to verge on "hysterical female" at one point. I really hate that in a strong female character, and I have always felt that Claire was a great example of the strong female without the flights into "hysterical female" that plague other good, strong female characters.

I thought this one dragged a bit, but I still like Mary Logue's writing and the characters.

POISON HEART features Deputy Sheriff Claire Watkins set in a Wisconsin farm community. Rich in local colour and flavor, POISON HEART, is novel that emphasizes the character and setting over the suspense of a traditional mystery. There is no doubt who does what, and what their motives are. Instead this novel is about character interaction. If you are looking for fast-paced action or intricate plotting, this book is not for you. If you like reading about the simplicity of small-town life and undercurrents, then this novel will not disappointment because Mary Logue is a wonderful storyteller.

I know this area very well and was very excited to see a novel set here. The book doesn't disappoint. Logue is a polished writer. The story was suspenseful. What intrigued me most was the Prologue--a glimpse at true evil. A great read!

Good solid mystery. I loved the rural setting along the Mississippi River.
