About this ebook
From the author of Knot in My Backyard, “a wonderfully crafted mystery . . . There were more twists and turns than a quilt has stitches” (Lisa Ks Book Reviews).
Sorting through the estate of a wealthy recluse may sound like a fascinating task, but when the skeletons in the closets turn out to be real, Martha and her quilting pals wish they’d stuck to basting and batting . . .
Martha Rose is stunned when she hears that her best friend from high school has passed away. Her shock doubles when she learns that Harriet Oliver made her the executor of her estate. But when investigators determine that Harriet was murdered, Martha recruits her fellow quilters to help find the culprit. She’s mastered the art of piecing together blocks to create intricate quilts, but piecing together her friend’s murder will prove far more challenging . . .
Recipient of the Best Amateur Sleuth of 2015 Award from Romantic Times
Praise for the Quilting Mysteries
“What’s knot to love? Mary Marks has crafted another winner stitched together with humor and heart—Martha Rose is one gutsy lady.” —Rochelle Staab, national bestselling author of the Mind for Murder Mysteries
“Mary Marks had me on pins and needles and wanting to wrap myself up in a warm quilt while reading her cozy debut!” —Lee Hollis, author of the Hayley Powell Food & Cocktails Mysteries
“A pleasurable and satisfying addition to any quilting mystery fan’s reading list. Recommend to those who cannot get enough of Terri Thayer, Elizabeth Craig, or Earlene Fowler.” —Library Journal

The Twelve Brides of Summer Novella Collection #4 by Diana Lesire Brandmeyer, Vickie McDonough, and Davalynn Spencer. It is a collection of three romance stories set in late 1800’s. The County Fair Bride by Vickie McDonough takes place in Bakertown, Missouri in 1892. Prudence “Prudy” Willard has been gone from home for a year and half (after a scandal). She is returning home because her father is ill. Adam Merrick is the interim mayor while Mr. Willard is ill. Prudy wants to make sure that her father’s position is secure. Prudy ends up helping Adam raise funds for the town by holding a county fair. Diana Lesire Brandmeyer’s The Honey Bride takes place in Trenton, Illinois in 1887. Katie Tucker’s family barn catches fire and her father dies inside. Katie finds out that her father took out a loan (for bees for her) and now she has to find a way to raise money (or lose the farm). Pete Dent has been attracted to Katie since he met her. He has been looking for a farm to purchase. Pete ends up helping Katie as they try to save the farm along with the help of Katie’s young brother, Henry. The Columbine Bride by Davalynn Spencer is the third book in the novel. Mrs. Lucy Powell is a widow with two children. She is trying to keep her ranch after the death of her husband. Buck Reiter finds a way to help Lucy and, without her realizing it, saves Buck. To find out what happens with each couple, you will need to read The 12 Brides of Summer Novella Collection #4. The stories are quick and easy to read. All the stories are Christian romance (not preachy). I give The 12 Brides of Summer Novella Collection 4 out of 5 stars. They are all well-written and very enjoyable to read. A nice way to spend a Saturday afternoon. I received a complimentary copy of The 12 Brides of Summer Novella Collection #4 from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The review and opinions expressed are my own.
