I LOVED THIS BOOK!! I can not believe what Paisley went through as a single mom of a two year old! It all started as she went into the old gas station to discover a white dead woman in the back, and about twenty years ago, a black man was strangled to death. Once Paisley got the idea of researching the history of why Luther met a horrible death, she could not stop and she felt threaten by a man with a crowbar trying to enter the building, I loved little Sawyer and how he would greet his mom. NOW, I CAN'T WAIT TO READ BOOK 2!!… (mais)

I needed a palate cleanser and this did the trick. If I'm totally objective, its probably a 3* book, but when the time is right for light, the time is right. I will go forward with this series for just that reason. Cross stitch plays a minor role as the calming activity for the main character...some discussion of patterns, color blending and charts. This cozy mystery fits the definition to a T. The characters were endearing, but a bit saccharine. Who cares? The murder mystery moved along in a procedural manner with all the involvement of a non-law enforcement historian. The protagonist is a historian who salvages old buildings. That part was the most interesting and as far as I could tell was realistic. Fun read overall.… (mais)
