Not the strongest book in the series, they mystery and background stories had the potential to be interesting, though the way it was introduced stretched believablity a bit much even for a cozy, but everything felt kind of flat this time around. There was a lot more talking about what characters were doing and saying and less actual interaction between them. The ending especially was a let down, it was abrupt and felt like to little pay off for reading through the whole story. I still enjoyed the characters and the community, but I hope the next book picks up a bit more. no reviews | add a review

But the jarring thing is that Beverly is the last one to see the star actress, and is suspected of killing. Her mother's reaction to stressful situations is to withdraw and just separate herself and not talk to anyone. That just makes the police more suspicious of her.
I have not tried the type of embroidery mentioned in the book but I have a lot of experience in other times of embroidery and that really made me feel at home with the book.
An added bonus is Angus, Marcy's Irish Wolfhound adds devotion, and humor to this story. ( )
