Terri Thayer (Goodreads Author)
Quilt shop owner Dewey Pellicano intends to mix business with pleasure at the Sewing-by-the-Sea Symposium in Asilomar, California.

Not so quilty, not top notch mystery, but fun enough that I enjoyed it. Dewey's development over the days in putting together her quilt is a quiet undertone, and is evocative of what has kept people quilting...that we find in our work something that speaks to us about life.

This quilt mystery is a new adventure for me, as I have not been a mystery reader previously. However, that may change as I really enjoyed this book. I could barely put it down and read in only a few hours. Nicely woven plot with interesting characters and a beautifully detailed setting. Should be an interesting read for both quilters and non-quilters alike.
This is the third in a series of Dewey Pellicano, quilt store owner and amateur sleuth. This time, she has decided since she is keeping her mother's quilt shop, she really should learn something about quilting. To achieve this she signs up for a week long set of classes by famous teachers. One of whom is sure to wind up dead putting Dewey on the case.
I found myself more interested in the quilting classes described in the story than the mystery itself. But that's just me. This is the first Quilting Mystery I've read, maybe if I'd read the other Dewey Pellicano books first I would have felt more of a connection with her. It was an OK mystery and I did get some ideas for a quilting project.
This book is exceptionally fun to read because it's about our local area. I can relate to some of the characters, but I won't mention which ones...Terri, I especially like the Saddlerack comment. We weren't line dancing, but Bo Bice was awesome! I didn't see the end coming. My only negative comment would be that the editors need to proof it better.
Dewey Pellicano travels to a quilting conference in Asilomar, CA only to witness a woman disappear off a cliff into the ocean. Dewey believes she may have committed suicide after years of abuse at the hands of her husband but when a murder follows, Dewey probes deeper and finds a killer.
This is the 3rd book in the series and it was my least favorite. It took place away from the shop and the other characters weren't involved, which is what I liked about the previous books.
I really enjoy the main character of this series, probably because I'm a bit of a geek myself. The rest of the quilting world seems fairly accurately portrayed! I look forward to more!
I really enjoyed this 2nd book in the series. There were a few slow spots but over all seeing Dewey getting into trouble again and learning more about her older brother was fun.

good mistery. light reading
This was a very enjoyable story .
Cozy mystery.
A very fun, thoroughly entertaining read, with a great unexpected ending. I don't read a whole lot of mysteries, so I'm always pleased when an ending can surprise me. Loved the setting, makes me want to go to Asilomar even more, for quilting or just for a visit.
Dewey Pellicano is a character that I wish I knew in real life, and several of the others are ones that I'm seriously glad to NOT know in real life. As Dewey's story continues I'm really interested in what will come next in her l...more

I really liked the other 2 books in this series. This one, not so much. There was a completely different feel to it from the others and it was just kind of off. Don't think there's going to be more of these. Maybe that's a good thing.
loved it. want more!
