A Patchwork of Clues by Sally Goldenbaum
3.0
I love a mystery that has a crafty theme, "A Patchwork of Clues" is the first book in the Queen Bees Quilt Shop Mystery series by Sally Goldenbaum. This is my first book by this author, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I enjoyed it.
The story was a little slow to get started as murder was in first chapter but wasn't till 2/3rds of the way through that they decide to sleuth. (only reason why I gave 3 stars)
But with that said the mystery is interesting and I loved the characters which are well developed. The Queen Bees are a mixed group of eight women of different ages and lives who gather together at a local quilt shop to work on quilting projects. (Made me think of my relative Barbara in Maine who quilts much like this)
There are just enough twists and turns, suspicions to keep you to keep you guessing and second-guessing on whodunnit. I feel like I would still give it a chance as I am interested to see what the future holds for the Queen Bees.
I requested and received an advance reader copy of this book from the Lyrical Underground and NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
