englishmaven avatar reviewed on + 31 more book reviews


Marcy Singer opens a cross stitch shop in quaint Tullalah Falls, Oregon. After her open house, she finds a dead man in her storage room. He scratched a cryptic message into the wall. Soon after, Marcy's landlord is shot. What's the connection? Swindling real estate agents steal local townspeople's identity in order to make a killing. The two dead men are connected somehow. With the help of her best friend, Marcy looks for clues to clear her own name. There are also two love interests in the story.

Why three stars? The plot and setting are fabulous. However, the storyline is wee bit contrived to me. This is the first book in this series, and I have the second and third books, so I'll definitely read at least two more. I'll let you know if I continue with this one.
