About this title

Review:

"The patchwork quilt provides the guiding metaphor for Earlene Fowler's Benni Harper series and...becomes the perfect emblem for a universal sisterhood where women's hearts are torn and tested, and unite to create a resonant story of complex patterns and hard-earned grace."--Jo-Ann Mapson, author of The Wilder Sisters and Hank & Chloe

"May be the best of the series...The emphasis on skeletons in a California family's closet echoes Ross Macdonald, while the tone and feel of the novel will remind readers of Nevada Barr."--Booklist

"Fowler's regular characters all show significant growth; the mystery itself is satisfying both as a puzzle...and as a story about secrets buried in a family's past."--Booklist

"As in all of Earlene's previous books, in addition to the mystery there are numerous other threads cleverly interwoven in the plot...enjoyable...well-written."--San Luis Obispo Magazine (CA)

"Benni is feisty, caring, loving, and one heck of a part-time sleuth...a not to be missed view into the worlds of crime and the elite."--Rendezvous

"Engrossing...a compelling story of families torn apart by divided loyalties."--Publishers Weekly
