The only problem is the teacher of the most popular seminar—Sheila—is getting a massive case of stage fright about being in front of a crowd.
To ease Sheila’s nerves, the Hookers plan a practice class at crocheter CeeCee’s mansion. But before the lesson begins, Molly and the gang stumble upon a dead body in the apartment above CeeCee’s garage. Now, Molly must unravel the clues to find a killer quickly—or school might be out forever...
Delicious recipes & crochet patterns included!

MY REVIEW
SEAMS LIKE MURDER is knot to be missed by Hecthman fans!
Ten books in, and going strong, author Betty Hechtman still
has some surprises up her sleeves. Molly Pink and the Tarzana Hookers find that
out very quickly in this latest installment of the Crochet Mysteries.
Fast paced, and full of surprises, SEAMS LIKE MURDER had me
quickly turning the page in anticipation of each new chapter, and I was never disappointed.
Each chapter only served to entice me to keep reading until the exciting
conclusion.
Ms. Hechtman know exactly what her fans want, and she once
again delivers!

MRS. MALORY AND DEATH IS A WORD
Book 21 in the Shelia Malory Mysteries
by Hazel Holt
Arson and murder in the English countryside from the author of Mrs. Malory and a Necessary End . . .
In the wake of a reporter’s death, biographer Sheila Malory must dig through the remnants of his life to discover the devil in the details . . .
Sheila’s friend, larger-than-life Eva Jackson, has returned to the village of Taviscombe after losing her husband, Alan. A foreign correspondent, Alan reported on dangerous stories around the world from Libya to Afghanistan—but the cause of his death was more mundane: kidney failure in a London hospital. Still, he led a storied life, and much of his past lies in his writings, papers, and books now boxed away in Eva’s garage.
After Eva decides to compile a book of Alan’s unpublished works, a fire mysteriously breaks out in the garage. Then Eva meets a suspicious end, leading Sheila to wonder if there’s a killer at large in their charming Devon countryside . . .

MY REVIEW
A quaint British cozy.
I have to admit, this is the first book I’ve read in the Sheila
Malory series. If it hadn’t been given to me to review, I may have never heard
of it, and that would have been a real shame.
MRS. MALORY AND DEATH IS A WORD reminds me so much of the
lovely traditional English mysteries both in print, and on the small screen…intelligent,
and charming.
The plot was well written, not the most exciting I have ever
read, buy enjoyable, and this may sound strange, it was comfortable.
This is the last book on the Sheila Malory Mysteries. Sadly,
author Hazel Holt passed away in 2015.
I would recommend this book to English and/or traditional
cozy mysteries, who also like a quick read.

MY REVIEW
A magical installment in the Wishcraft Mystery series.
Things are as enchanting as ever in the Enchanted Village.
Well, you know, with the exception of a dead body. But that’s all part of the
fun isn’t it? You know, for us readers. J
It’s mystical mayhem in the village when a pet contest
brings death, and pup-napped pooches! Never fear, Darcy Merriweather is on hand
to solve the case.
With a stunning blend of mystery, magic, and excitement,
GONE WITH THE WITCH is the perfect potion of a para-cozy mystery. The story
flows at a delightful pace, is engaging, wonderfully written, and is guaranteed
to keep readers spellbound.
