I loved all the info about the quilt show. I liked the development of Joan and her family relationships. But the ending was a mess...I don't know if it was the explanation, or the solution itself to the mystery was really hard to follow. This was an improvement over the first book in the series.
Joan Spencer is the manager for the symphony where she also plays the viola. They are playing at a quilt show in the small town of Oliver. The quilt show's organizer turns up dead under one of the quilts on display. While she wasn't the easiest person with whom to get along, who wanted her gone badly enough to kill her? Joan, with access to the building and observations from her fellow orchestra members, helps the detective Fred unravel the case by supplying information she learns. I very much liked the character of Joan and the manner in which she provided information that she learned without really interfering with the investigation. It's an older series, but it's new to me, and I hope to read other installments.
