Tragedy strikes on the opening night of the Fall Crafters Fair when a woman is killed in the parking lot of Daisy’s Quilt Shop, and the only material witness is one of Melinda Byer’s boys. The investigation takes a more bizarre turn when detective Shane Black becomes convinced the killer was actually after Callie. This time it’s a madman loose in the largest crowd of the year, and he’s looking for something or someone. If they can’t figure out what, one of Deborah and Callie’s close circle of friends may be next. Masked identities, antique quilts with hidden messages, an Amish boy whose handicap makes him stronger, one brave dog, and a possible hidden treasure … this time it’s nonstop action, danger, and a dash of romance.

My Opinion:  This book was the third in a series and I only read the first one so I noticed a gap in information.  The book begins with a murder and the rest of the book is spent finding the murderer.  There were many tense moments.  This book does a good job mixing the Englisch and Amish groups.  The groups worked well problem solving.  I had times while reading this book that I had trouble focusing – I was not completely engaged throughout.  I wish I had read the second book – I might have been more engaged.  I didn’t feel as invested in the story or characters as I would have liked.  I would rate this book a 3.5 out of 5 stars.  The story was good, the issues were relevant, the characters were likeable, however it is not a real good stand alone story.

I received this book from NetGalley – opinions are my own.
