Things are getting serious between Sophie Mae and Detective Ambrose. But Sophie Mae has a new love in her life--spinning. Pursuing her newfound passion is great fun . . . until her fellow co-op... This description may be from another edition of this product.
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.
Excellent Mystery Reading

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.
Another great SM Reynolds mystery

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.
What a cozy should be

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.
