Her reports on people in the mountains for the weekly magazine Schweizer Familie were published in 2010 in the book Menschen am Berg . In the NZZ , reviewer Beatrice von Matt was impressed with how precisely Mühl listens and how solidly she researches her research topic. The reviewer of the Süddeutsche Zeitung Christian Jostmann noted appreciatively that the author was neither kitschy nor slipped into an aestheticism.
In 2011, Mühl submitted a pamphlet under the title Patchwork Lie , in which she criticized the whitewashing of separations and divorces as well as the idealization of blended families. According to Johan Schloemann in the Süddeutsche Zeitung, the book is also characterized by the fact that it is not looking for an opponent on the meta-level such as feminism or the sixty-eighties , but rather addresses the incapable of binding morally directly.
