review 1: I picked up this book because I had recently read one of the author's quilting mysteries and liked it. This one was not so good. The story line was uneven. April, the title character, was not sympathetic; for a 31 -year-old woman she seemed quite immature. And the mystery itself was weak. Finally, the idea of using rubber stamps to decorate huge walls as a top-notch historical restoration just does not seem plausible, from what I know about historical renovations, and the author never explained how it was supposed to be so desirable.
review 2: I really thought this was pretty lame. First, why do we have to read about her father's homosexuality and how tender he and his lover are. Ick. Who cares? Plus, she is so much more approving of her father and his love... morer than of her mother. Double ick. The mystery part isn't too difficult to figure out early in the book and I really just didn't care for the main character, April. So many doubts and insecurities, and soo much shame! Triple ick. less
