Someday Quilts Mysteries
review 1: The third book in the Someday Quilts series takes the group away from home. Susanne has been asked to teach a quilting workshop at a new bed and breakfast, but there is some controversy as the inn is owned by a former beau of their friend Bernie, George, and his wife, Rita, once a good friend. Despite her initial anger, she decides to join Eleanor, Nell, and Susanne at the retreat. When they arrive, they find it is rather rundown and find that the quilting students are locals that have been roped into attending the class. Odd things keep disappearing from the house, which is rumored to have held a treasure of a former owner. When George is murdered and Bernie is implicated, the quilters band together to find the guilty party. There are a few things that don't quite add up,... more including Jesse unexpectedly showing up and staying for the entire time, aiding in the police investigation, along with some of the backstory behind Rita and George and their estranged daughter. Barney, the elderly golden retriever plays an important role in advancing the plot forward. Not the strongest book in the series, but it was okay.
review 2: Like a good mystery? Like Quilts? Well, this book has it all. Mystery, suspense and of course Quilts. I'm a quilter myself so this book grabbed me when I read the synopsis. I also like murder mysteries. So this book was a great combination. As the ladies pack up to go to the retreat there is a mystery revolving around one of them. It seems that the person holding the retreat is an old boyfriend and his wife is the woman who took him away from her. And then a body shows up and one of the ladies is the prime suspect. Can Nell and the rest of the quilt club clear their friend? What happens to the old boyfriend? Who will have to read the book to find out. less
