WICKED STITCH was a wickedly fun and entertaining mystery. You’ll be embroidered . . . uh, embroiled from the very first chapter. I love the Renaissance Faire setting for protagonist Marcy Singer and the other characters from Tallulah Falls. I’ve been to a Ren Faire, and author Amanda Lee’s descri...

Dollycas’s ThoughtsNever a dull moment in Tallulah Falls. Marcy finds her way right into the middle of another investigation. At least this time Marcy or her mother is not at the top of the suspect list. In fact this time Ted and Marcy really team up to find the truth. Their relationship in really ...

Marcy’s mom Beverly is the costume designer for a lavish, Bollywood-style production…and she suggests Tallulah Falls as a great place to shoot part of the film. Everyone at the embroidery shop, and around town, is in a flutter that a glamorous movie production is taking place in their midst. But whe...

The last one of these was pretty much just an okay read. This one wasn't even that. I skimmed a lot of this book. It just wasn't interesting to me. The series started off great, but has truly petered out, at least for me. Marcy has become one dimensional and Angus is the only character I can tr...

Very average read. This series started out strong and has just withered for me as it's gone on. The characters and the dialogue feel flat, as if they're reading from a script. Even the romance isn't really much of a romance; the author tried to wring romantic tension out of a triangle that was jus...

I am not loving this series like I used to. This is a 5 in my owne grading system, so 2.5 stars, but am giving it the benefit of the doubt and going the extra .5 star instead of deducting and going down to 2. Marcy is wearing a bit thin with me, and I find her friend Sadie to be a bit of a petulan...

This book, and this series in general, just don't do it for me. Halfway through I had decided I'd finish, but not read any further into the series. The writing just felt so flat, so 1950's-ish. A bit prudish. Don't get me wrong - I love cozies and I'm not looking for a lot of sex, etc. I can point t...

Embroidery shop owner Marcy Singer agrees to help teach a class as therapy for domestic abuse victims. She meets Mary Cantor who wants to leave her abusive husband and take her daughter with her. There's one problem. Her elderly father-in-law lives with them and she can't bear to leave him behind. M...

LOVE this series and this was another good entry! A "bridezilla", a murder, 2 men Marcy can't decide between and another comes back into the picture. Lots going on this time! I also love the descriptions of Marcy's needlework projects. Makes me want to pick up a cross-stitch project!

I liked this story better than the last one. Interesting plot development and great character development as well. A good series and I'm looking forward to the next one.
