35-year-old Angie leaves Dallas, Texas after a broken engagement to inherit her beloved aunt's Amish quilt shop in Rolling Brook, Ohio. The night after the shop's grand re-opening, a murder happens in the shop, and the story launches from there.

Since this is the first book in the series, the author invests a fair amount of time setting the scene and introducing the reader to the cast of characters. I didn't solve the mystery until near the end and appreciated the 'red herrings' the author provides.

I haven't read a cozy mystery in quite some time and was somewhat annoyed by how repetitive some of this book was (I don't need to be reminded 100 times that the murder victim's name was Joseph), but I think that's more a fault of the genre rather than this author. I'm intrigued enough to continue on with the next book in this series.
