A Patchwork of Clues by Sally Goldenbaum

3.0

I have been wanting to give this author a try so when I saw she had a new cozy mystery series debuting in June I thought I would give it a try. I like the author's writing style and the characters in this new series. This is a group of diverse women brought together by their love of quilting in a local quilt group. There is really a character for everyone in this book. They are all likable. The author did a good job of introducing the characters and providing their backstory and laying the ground work for the series. However, for me, she did too much of this. I was over 60% of the way through the book before the group of women decided they were going to try to solve the mystery. One of the characters discovers the body of the victim in the first chapter. I like a good character driven cozy mystery, but for me I thought this book was too light and too late with the mystery.

I'm not sure if I will continue with the series. I voluntarily read a digital ARC provided to me by the publisher through Netgalley.
