Review on Book 5 Stitching Concerns

I’m looking forward to continuing this wonderful cozy mystery series. The author has done a solid job of sprinkling clues through the story without giving the ending away. And ending with several interesting twists. The mystery is solved, but the author also throws in some tantalizing tidbits as far as where the next book in the series might lead, and I can’t wait.

Review on Book 4 Threading Trouble

Reading Threading Trouble was like visiting old friends. It was fun to get back to Alex’s, Kibbles’ and Charlotte’s world of mystery and intrigue.

Review on Book 4 Threading Trouble

Well, well, well. The plot is definitely twisted, with links to the first book. But talk about a whole new setting!!
