See all formats and editions
In the Roaring Twenties, a detective must sew up a case of quilting gone wrong—first in the cozy mystery series. 
 
It is the 1920s, in the world of quilting circles. Alice Chandler, a wealthy woman and prominent local quilter, is murdered with a pair of quilting shears during the preparations for a local flower show, leaving a dying clue on the lap quilt she and the executive committee are making as the first prize. Unfortunately, the clue could point to anyone on the committee or any of her three adopted children . . . 
 
Connecticut State Police lead investigator Steve Walsh is on the case, helped and hindered at every turn by the Alice’s flapper daughter and by the scrappy reporter Julie Boroni. While trying to catch the killer, Steve’s bachelor life may come to end—but with whom? A classic murder mystery with a quilty twist, this historical fiction novel is sure to grab every quilter’s imagination and make them long for a bygone era.

I think I read it probably I know Katie and thought she wouldn’t steer her quilting friends wrong. Fantastic story well planned and a good mystery/romance with some comedy - great all around.
Bring on the next one, Mark...I’m ready.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quilt?
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2020

The author writes in a parlor style. What does that mean? To me it means early 20th century British mysteries. Some Conan Doyle. A little Christy without twists or turns. Mostly Sayer. Think Lord Wymsey. Thankfully, the quilt plays it's role well; not in the style of most books with a quilt and quilt groups. Any more said and I'd show my bias concerning books written for the quilter readers. This has more style.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cozy murder mystery worth a read

You’ll love this book!!!

A cozy murder mystery set in the 20’s keeps you binge reading. Pasquini did a great job leaving clues around every corner. It’s a refreshing alternative to today’s mystery’s filled with gratuitous violence.

Give this book a try.

This book did not download on my Kindle, nor did Assault and Batting. Both show, but are dark with an X in the bottom right hand corner. Of course, have been charged for both! This needs to be taken care of please.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy, interesting, fun read. Great characters!
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2018
As you can see, I have the same last name but I have always been honest with the people in my life who are writers ( I have many ) and that honesty doesn't stop with my brother.
I so enjoyed this book. While at my sister Katie's house in California, I started reading the final review copy before it was published. She told me I couldn't take it when I came back to Seattle but that I'd get my own after the final publishing.
I stole it. I didn't want to stop reading it.
The characters are full and pull you into their world.
You care about and feel familiar with the two central characters because their background is detailed and, again, it pulls you in.
I'm looking forward to the next in the series. Hurry up Mark.

5.0 out of 5 stars Writer + Quilter = Great Read
Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2018
As a quilter and a reader, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The characters were so likable and I felt like I had escaped back in time. A mystery without all the blood and gore is sometimes hard to find these days. Having a sister who is famous for her quilting and shared her knowledge was the icing on the cake. I can't wait to share it with my quilting friends, and I'm looking forward to the next Steve Walsh Mystery.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read!!!
Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2018
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I was quickly captivated by the characters, enjoyed the intrigue, and really appreciated the lack of gratuitous violence so often found in murder mysteries. As a bonus, the romantic entanglements kept me guessing right up to the very end. I look forward to the sequel!
