5.0 out of 5 stars
Book 2 is Number 1 in my book., May 16, 2010
This review is from: Death Threads (Southern Sewing Series) (Mass Market Paperback)
DEATH THREADS picks up six months after the close of SEW DEADLY and the reader once again becomes immersed in the life of Northern transplant, Tori Sinclair. Relationships started in the first book deepen and the girls from the Sewing Circle are going strong. The introduction of Ella May, the quirky character that every small town has is fabulous. Who doesn't like a quirky character? Sweet potato pies, a local author and a reluctant stitcher figure prominently in this tale by Elizabeth Lynn Casey. This second who-done-it in her SOUTHERN SEWING CIRCLE SERIES keeps the reader guessing until the last few pages. I know I was as clueless as the local sheriff. I couldn't put this down once I started. I even missed a planned event in order to finish. I can't wait for the October release of book three in the series.

A charming small town cozy that is fun, fast-paced and truly a delight to read!, May 26, 2010
This review is from: Death Threads (Southern Sewing Series) (Mass Market Paperback)
Elizabeth Lynn Casey continues her stories of the lives and activities of the good folks of Sweet Briar, South Carolina in her latest Southern Sewing Circle Mystery, DEATH THREADS. Casey deftly crafts a thrilling mystery along with a charming story of friendship and small town life to create a fun, fast-paced novel that will keep cozy mystery lovers thoroughly entertained. Casey's characters are unique and endearing - the shy but handsome schoolteacher Milo who is sweet on Tori, the feisty Leona Elkin, Tori's self appointed Southern manners and charm teacher, Leona's loveable sister Margaret Louise, and the sassy, bright Tori Sinclair herself - all folks you would want to meet and become close friends with. Casey also includes helpful sewing tips and a pattern for a cute fabric gift bag project that is mentioned throughout the story.
Look for future edition of the Southern Sewing Circle Mysteries from Elizabeth Lynn Casey. You'll be glad you did.

Waiting Impatiently for #3, June 1, 2010
This review is from: Death Threads (Southern Sewing Series) (Mass Market Paperback)
Pretty darn good. You probably want more than my opinion though, huh?
Well, Tori is back and so are her friends and neighbors. Sometimes Sweet Briar is like sweet tea. On the surface almost too sweet and charming... to the point of being almost sicksweet; but that is the south for you. However, everyone keeps coming back for more sweet tea don't they? There are pitchers in both our fridges...
Actually, that works pretty well here, because really what town with a history doesn't have some sick, unflattering, scandalous or even just silly but embarrassing secret or not so secret history?
Bad feelings do lead to foul behavior and play in real life too, so why not in a story? Pride can hold people back, especially in a town like Sweet Briar with personalities that may remind you of your friends or neighbors in unexpected ways. The sewing circle helps(okay sometimes help is a hindrance) Tori to UNRAVEL (haha) this mystery... twists galore up to the very end!
If you like mysteries, crafting, the south(or even don't like it), characters, or have your own lady's circle; you'll enjoy this book.
