A Stitch in Crime Cathy Elliott


What's the book about:

Thea James has accepted an assignment as co-chairperson for Larkindale’s first quilt show extravaganza. Juggling the new assignment with running her antique business, she’s already feeling frayed when things start to unravel.
Mary-Alice Wentworth, a much-loved town matriarch, respected quilt judge, and Thea’s dear friend, is covertly conked on the head during the kick-off Quilt Show Soiree, throwing suspicion on her guests. It also appears that a valuable diamond brooch has been stolen during the attack. The family is furious. But is it because of their mugged mother or the missing diamonds?

When a renowned textile expert goes MIA and the famous Wentworth heritage quilt disappears, Larkindale’s reputation as a tourist haven is at risk. Thea attempts to piece the mystery together and save the town’s investment in the quilt show before Mary-Alice is attacked again . . . with far worse results.
 
My thoughts on the book:

Thea is the co- chair for the up and coming quilt event, she didn’t expect it to be too much work but it seems like everything has fallen on her. At every corner everything seems to be falling apart, and she can’t figure out how to keep her head in the game and keep this event falling apart before it even takes off.

So I have to say that I expected this book to be on the edge of your seat type of book something to keep you guessing. I have to say for me that was not the case the book seemed very predictable from the beginning and I kept wanting to keep reading in hopes the book would get there. I wanted to have more interaction with Thea and Cole also in the book. The ending tied everything up just in case you hadn’t tied it all together, I did however feel it left you hanging at the end with one thing. Over all I will say the book was a decent read and will keep your attention from the beginning to end. Once I started I did have a hard time putting it down. If you have read other quilt of loves books this will be worth your time to read this one. If you have not this book is still worth the read, the storyline is well written.
