The town of Crestwood is reeling over the death of Oliver “Ollie” Harrington. Unfortunately, Ollie’s death also leaves quite a few people claiming he had made promises to them over the years regarding the disbursement of his estate and wealth. Meanwhile, Ollie’s twin sister, Adele Harrington, moves in immediately and ruffles feathers, both with her seemingly icy demeanor and her plans for the estate. Who poisoned Ollie? The Crestwood Quilters are determined to regain peace in their small town, even if it means finding another murderer.
I love how quilts continue to play such a central role in the Queen Bees Quilt Shop series! Adele commissions the Crestwood Quilters to create quilts for the bed and breakfast she intends to open at the Harrington estate. Sally Goldenbaum magnificently shows us the art of quilting and the care that is taken in carefully selecting and piecing together such beautiful works of art.
A BIAS FOR MURDER is the third book in the Queen Bees Quilt Shop series and can be read as a standalone. Sally Goldenbaum helpfully provides new readers with a list of the main characters with a short description of each one. The relationships between the quilters are part of the enjoyment of the Queen Bees Quilt Shop series and I suspect new readers will want to read the two earlier books to get to know the characters even better. A BIAS FOR MURDER is yet another charming crafty cozy mystery that is sure to delight readers!
When their town is blanketed in suspicion and murder,
it falls to the Crestwood Quilters to uncover a killer in
this latest case from Sally Goldenbaum, the national
bestselling author of the Seaside Knitters mysteries . . .
Oliver Harrington II was one of the most beloved members of
Crestwoodβs community. Despite being the picture of health
at age 52, he died from a sudden heart attack, leaving
behind the family mansion on a sprawling piece of property.
His twin sister Adele returned to the town she despises to
claim her brotherβs home, intent on turning it into a
B&B. And sheβs hired Po Paltrow and the Crestwood
Quilters to craft quilts for the guest rooms.
But Adele is not the only one interested in the future of
the Harrington estate. A developer wants to put multiple
houses on the land. The townsfolk just want their
neighborhood to retain its small-town charm and not become a
tourist trap. But when an autopsy reveals that Oliver was
actually poisoned, suspicion falls on his sister. Po doesnβt
believe Adele is guilty, leaving her determined to discover
who else harbored deadly designs on the Harrington home . . .
