As a quilter, retired folk art curator Beatrice Coleman
likes to have all the seams stitched together—but her plans
keep getting tangled up in unexpected ways…
Beatrice has never crashed a party but now her fellow quilt
guild member, Meadow Downey, is driving them to a Victorian
mansion in the mountains beyond Dappled Hills, North
Carolina. Muriel Starnes, an elderly eccentric, has
organized a meeting of quilters to pick someone to
administer a quilting scholarship. The fact that the Village
Quilters weren’t invited isn’t enough to keep Meadow from
speaking her piece.
But once the quilters arrive
at the mansion, it seems they may never leave. An ice storm
sends an old tree crashing across the driveway, leaving them
stranded for the night. And by the next morning, they are
one fewer—for Muriel has been sent to meet her maker. With
everyone in the house a suspect, it’s up to Beatrice and the
Village Quilters to figure out who has a guilty conscience
before someone else gets tied up in knots.
I definitely love crafty things. Used to teach needle arts. But I especially like books based on other books, and who can beat Christie? (Ronna Lord 3:54pm November 14, 2014)
