Mystery Cozy

As the leaves begin to fall in idyllic Dappled Hills, someone puts too fine a point on a local ladies’ man. Fortunately, the detective skills of quilter Beatrice Coleman are a cut above the rest...

The Village Quilters of Dappled Hills, North Carolina, are desperate to finish their quilts before an upcoming show. To help, fellow member Posy has opened the back room of her shop, the Patchwork Cottage, for everyone to use. But the ladies are less than thrilled when Phyllis Stitt and Martha Helmsley—members of their rival quilting guild, the Cut-Ups—ask to join them.

Phyllis is hoping to leave the Cut-Ups and join up with the Village Quilters now that Martha’s dating her ex-fiancé, Jason Gore. She’s not pleased when he visits the shop and even more upset when her new shears disappear. After offering to search for them, Beatrice discovers Jason with the shears buried in his unfaithful heart. Now she must sharpen her sleuthing skills to find a killer before someone else’s life is cut short.…

Re: Shear Trouble

I'm also a firm believer in lists, but do mine a little
differently. I used to think that being on dial-up is a
curse, but it's turned out to be a blessing!! My list is
always written out in long-hand, for starters. Because I
volunteered to teach a knitting class once a week, I have my
knitting nearby, so that when a page is loading, I can get a
few stitches knitted on the project that I'm working on. I
also keep an open book handy at my side for the same reason.
When I finish, I always have a review of the book in my
head, so I can write it down on the site needed. As for
things I need to do, if a page is taking a while to load, I
can start on one of my easier projects that are nearby, so
that I can keep an eye on the computer from time to time.
Once in a while, I'll try one of the harder projects. It's
always nice too see one of them marked off'' Since I'm
always used to multi-tasking anyway, I try not to let these
chores bother me, and I also try to beg my Husband nicely
when I see him sittin in his chair, reading a book. That's
when I start to come unglued a little, because I don't want
to carry the burden myself!! I'm anxious to read your
latest book, because the characters, the setting, and the
story line, are things that interest me a great deal. This
would make a great Fall read for me!! I'm sure I'd enjoy
it, since we seem to think alike!! Congratulations!!

Thanks so much, Peggy! I hope you'll enjoy the book. And it's
great to hear from someone who also loves lists and multi-
tasking!

I'm a lister myself, and your advice really rings true. Thanks so much!
