1.0 out of 5 stars DISAPPOINTED April 19, 2012
By ditc 46
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I've enjoyed this series in the past, but this time feel her snooping caused her to step way over the lines of friendship by sticking her nose where it didn't belong. She could have broken up her friends marriage. Was it really worth it? I won't be returning to this series for more of her thoughtlessness. She's old enough to get over herself and thinking she knows more the the police. I'm glad she's not my friend.

5.0 out of 5 stars engaging amateur sleuth April 3, 2012
Format:Mass Market Paperback
In Tallulah Falls, Oregon on Saint Patrick's Day, The Brew Crew pub owner Todd Calloway hosts a fraternity reunion of Oregon State's Alpha Sigma Phi. However, the fun turns tragic when someone shoots and kills Graham Stott in the back room. The people besides the victim in that room are Todd and his friend Blake Mackenzie. Both their fingerprints are on the murder weapon. The police arrest them; charging them with the homicide of Graham.

Former San Francisco accountant, Marcy Singer, owner of the Seven Year Stitch embroidery shop knows both males and refuses to accept they killed Stott although neither will say what happened. Knowing what it is like to be accused of murder (see Stich Me Deadly and The Quick and The Thread), and encouraged by her BFF Blake's wife Sadie, Marcy investigates. She learns the mysterious Tawny is somehow involved.

The latest Embroidery amateur sleuth (see Thread Reckoning) is an engaging whodunit filled with clues that are in plain sight yet difficult to knit together, and a solid cause for the spunky heroine to investigate the murder. The entertaining storyline grips the reader as Marcy embroiders the case one stitch at a time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable cozy mystery September 2, 2012
By Larkin
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I have read all of Amanda Lee's "Stitching Mysteries", and have enjoyed all of them. They aren't going to win any awards for plot twists or originality (for that, read some Agatha Christies!), but that fact is more than compensated by her strong, likable characters. Her shop, and the whole neighborhood, is a comfortable place to visit.

If I could have, I would have given this book 3.5 stars instead of 4, because of the Ted/Todd relationship issues. As another reviewer stated, this dilemma has grown stale and needs to be resolved.

One other tiny irritation was the fact that Tod and/or Tedd are always nearby when she is in any need. It's almost like neither of them does anything else with their free time but check on her.

All the negative points aside, I do plan to keep reading further books in this series. One bonus point to these for me is there aren't obscenities and sexual escapades on every page, as has become the custom of many mysteries lately, even cozy ones.

Looking forward to the next one!
