A Stitch in Crime

By: Cathy Elliott

Narrated by: Summer McCusker

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.

Disappointing

While the plot and characters were good, the author used too many descriptive details as fillers, and was overly focused on people's appearance. This made the story drag. No romance was developed. There were some good parts and I'm not unhappy I listened to it. Particularly because the narrator was good. Good acting, good tone, and good characters' voices. She could have added a little more enthusiasm to the intense parts.
