I had thought this book would lose something, because I wasn't as happy with book number 2. This was a great book! Ms. Marks included a little history, danger and lot of friendship in this book. I really enjoyed it.

I really enjoy this mystery series - it has a fully developed protagonist with great friends and a complicated love life, as well as a great investigatory eye and an urge for justice. There was a lot of suspense in this installment, along with some interesting historical information. Highly recommended.

Martha finds out that her high school best friend Harriet has died and that she has been made the executor of her estate which is a lot larger than she expected. But when it is determined that she was murdered, Martha and her quilting friends must investigate. Friendship, murder and quilting, a really fun mystery!

Martha and her friends try to solve the murder of a childhood friend when she is named executor of her estate. This is the first book in the series that I've read but had no problems grasping the story and getting acquainted with Martha, Birdie and Lucy. This quilting trio are great cozy detectives and I'm going to be looking for the previous stories. Mary Marks is a writer that has lots of quilting tips.
