Harriet Truman / Loose Threads Mystery

review 1: I just have to say that I really enjoy this series. As I've said in my reviews of the first two books they are just fun, light and easy reads. In this the third novel in the series, Harriet Truman and her sewing group , the Loose Threads, are busy sewing quilts and setting up for a civil war reenactment. After the first reenacted battle one man doesn't get up, Harriet finds it odd and walks onto the field to check on him. Of course this being a mystery, she finds him dead. What she doesn't realize is he is the already deceased husband(supposedly for 20 years) of one of the loose threads members. Mavis, the widow, is shocked and angry realizing he has been alive this whole time and she raised all their sons on her own.Of course that is just the beginning and the author give... mores us many twists and turns with little bits of helpful information for solving the murder but not helpful enough until you get all the bits to equal the whole.Gerald or Gerard, the dead man has been living a whole other life in the Netherlands with another family. Why? That is the big question all the characters are trying to figure out and if they can piece it together then they will solve his murder and get answers to their questions.I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I did give this 5 stars because I just couldn't put it down, the writing was good and kept my attention.Happy reading!!!
review 2: In this third novel from the 'Harriet Truman/Loose Threads Mystery' series, our amateur sleuth, Harriet finds herself deep in a murder investigation. The Loose Threads quilting group are busy manning the sutler's booth at the reenactment of a Civil War battle being held in Foggy Point, Washington. Not only have each woman quilted the minimum of one quilt, they have also done joint quilts. Harriet was put in charge due to her Aunt's position in the town. Finally getting a break from selling, Harriet joins Mavis to see the 'battle' from the top of the bleachers. Both of them note one of the reenactors doesn't get up when his fellow actors do. Hurrying over to see what is up, they find a dead man. Not just any man, but Mavis' husband, who has been dead for twenty years, or at least she thought he was...We quickly learn this is not just a simple murder case but a case filled with secrets spanning two continents. Possible Industrial espionage and more. Ms. Sachitano has an unique ability to create new and fresh mysteries is a beloved setting. I do enjoy reading these mysteries. less
