Books - A Quilting Mystery

 

Another series I very much enjoyed was The Quilting Mystery.  There are 9 in the collection and no sign of any more to come, at least as far as I can tell.  

“Mary Marks has stitched together a very clever plot with a cast of engaging characters in this funny, fast-paced debut mystery.” —Laura Levine, author of the Jaine Austen Mysteries

Welcome to San Fernando Valley, California, where Martha Rose and her coterie of quilters are enjoying life on the good side of retirement—until murder pulls a stitch out of their plans . . .

Martha and her besties Lucy and Birdie are set to expand their Quilty Tuesdays by inviting newcomer Claire Terry into their group. Though at forty Claire’s a tad younger than their average age, her crafty reputation could perk up their patchwork proceedings, especially as they prepare for the fancy quilt show coming to town. But when they arrive at Claire’s home and find her dead inside the front door, and her exquisite, prize-winning quilts soon missing, Martha is not one to leave a mystery unraveled. Especially if she wants to stop a killer from establishing a deadly pattern . . .

Just a reading fun read with lots of information on quilting and life in general as one gets older with great characters from different walks of life. 

And the last book in the series tying all the back stories up that happen throughout the series. 

The ninth installment in the hit Quilting Mystery series by Mary Marks finds sleuth Martha searching for her fiancé’s ex-wife.

One loose thread threatens to unravel Martha’s wedding plans: the groom-to-be married a pregnant teen to save her from scandal thirty years ago—and the marriage was never annulled. Now Crusher’s wife Hadas is coming to LA, along with his sister Fanya. But soon after she arrives, their houseguest goes missing, with her room ransacked and a chloroform-soaked cloth left behind. Could her apparent abduction be connected to her brother’s unsolved death from a hit-and-run six months ago? Martha and her quilting cohorts must find the pattern to solve the twin mysteries and determine if Crusher is still married—or now a widower . . .

I really enjoyed every one of the books in the series as each was very different from the last.  

Have a wonderful day and welcome to November!
