Yet another great story with amateur detective Martha Rose. Martha and her quilting cohorts solve another mystery!
From the back cover:
"Baseball may be America's official favorite pastime, but for Martha Rose and her friends, quilting is far more fun...and a lot less dangerous.
A diamond brocade pattern is more quilter Martha Rose's style than a baseball diamond -- especially when it comes to the new eyesore of a stadium ruining her lovely San Fernando Valley neighborhood. Martha doesn't know a bunt from a bundt cake, but when she stumbles upon the battered body of baseball coach Dax Martin, she doesn't need a scorecard to know it's foul play. LAPD homicide detective Arlo Beavers is convinced one of her neighbors is responsible. But Martha and her fellow quilters Lucy and Birdie soon discover a whole field of suspects who might have wanted to take the coach out of the game permanently..."
The next in the series, Gone But Knot Forgotten, is due to come out in September, 2015. It's going to be very difficult to wait that long! But, we're lucky because Kensington has asked Mary to keep writing even more for the series.

I'd love to win a copy, but I think, win or lose, I will check out this series ... it definitely sounds like books I would enjoy.
ReplyDeleteLove reading & quilting, so this book sounds like a winner. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteDear Debbie,
ReplyDeleteYour quilt above is absolutely stunning. We just had our regions annual quilt show last month, named Pacific International Quilt Festival. I have never seen anything embellished in this unique way. Please consider sending one next year. I believe the show is put on by the Mancuso a Brothers from Pennsylvania. This show often has projects from Israel, South Africa, Europe, Australia, Japan, China and so on. Do you have a site where you post these beauties? Thank you for sharing, Barbara Dix, bdix333@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteMaybe I'll be lucky again since I won the last time and loved, loved, loved the book. Really need this for our long, cold winters in Montreal and to pass the time while waiting for the many doctor appointments for both my husband and me. My fingers are crossed! rozagulnik@gmail.com
