Charlotte MacLeod, whether writing as Alisa Craig or under her own name, is one of my favorite writers of contemporary cozy mysteries. The characters are lovably whacky, the dialog is witty, and the plot keeps interests flowing. The zany character names alone keep me turning the page to see who shows up next. Here Miss Dittany Henbit and her fellow Grub-and-Stakers fight against those who would turn their Enchanted Mountain into a subdivision. If you are looking for a bunch of laughs between more weighty tomes, you can't do better than this.

The adventures of Dittany Henbit and the Spotted Pipsissewa are as ditzy as ever when Alisa Craig (Charlotte MacLeod) entertains us with her tales of Lobelia Falls.

Charlotte MacLeod was a superior writer of murder mysteries and will be missed. This is the first book in the series about the Grub and Stakers. It takes place in Canada and main character is Dittany Henbit. Grub and Stakers by the way are a Gardening group who also practic archery. I love this whole series, but I own 2 copies so here is one to share.

I loved the Grub-and-Stakers series! The characters are lovably wacky but still half-way believable. The situations are fun, and the writing is first-class. The books are just all-around fun.

Dittany Hembit is an active young woman who gets into a mess when she takes her bow and arrows and goes to Enchanted Mountain for a walk, with Ethel the dog. The names are so funny in this book, the siutations believable and only one murder (with a arrow!), which is my kind of book. I don't like allot of killing, but loved how this one evolved. Highly recommended--in fact I loved it so much I am sending it to my daughter-in-law

Hilarious, well thought out, plenty of clues that are not real easy to follow, delirious, delicious people.

First in the series. A typically witty & literate cosy set in Canada.
