This was the first book I had read from this author. It was very good, I would recommend this to others to read. It is very much like the Terri Thayer mysteries.

Couldn't put this one down. And when I finally finished it, I missed being in Cadyville. McCrae really gets the Pacific Northwest and makes her little town so real I was actually homesick for it. I missed the people there, especially Sophie Mae and her housemates and, of course, her cop boyfriend. And as a mechanical moron, I got a kick out of all the car-savvy women in Cadyville. McCrae's dialogue is so realistic that whatever the characters are talking about seems entirely plausible. She spun this yarn so cleverly that, unlike Sophie Mae, I was clueless as to who the killer was until the very end. The next one can't come too soon.

Great characters, a tense, tidy plot, plenty of conflict, a surprising and very satifsying finish. In other words, vintage McRae. I'm already looking forward to the next one.

This is my favorite of the three McRae books -- I like the locational details, particularly the descriptions of La Conner; the domestic details (chickens in the garden, the outrageous coffee table); the meals they eat; and, of course, the crafting -- I'm going to have to learn to spin now. The recurring characters are people I want to spend time with, and I'm invested in seeing how they solve the murder.

This book was enjoyable. Kept you guessing until the end. But sure did miss the home remedy recipes that were in her previous books.

This book is soooo amazing with all the suspence and how the author beautifully made this book, so that you were hooked on every page.What I love about reading this series is that its so filled with action,romance, and big time mystery! I would recommend this book to all you book lovers who love books with amazing quality of how she brings the characters to life! I hope you enjoy this amazing book as much as I do:)

This book approached the murder mysteries by having the Detective, also boyfriend of our sleuth, Sophie Mae, come out and ask for her help in snooping/gossiping around to learn more about the victim. Not only that, Sophie Mae goes into shock when she learns Detective Barr was also married a decade earlier. The Ex is slightly psycho and then Sophie Mae learns Barr has siblings too.

We are introduced into the world of wool spinning, blacksmith, tulip farming, and more this go round. I enjoyed this book as a true cozy.
