Easy reading, if a bit predictable,interesting characters, an engaging heroine. My grandmothers were both quilters, and I enjoyed the info on the patterns. This is the second Benni Harper Mystery I've read, and am looking forward to finding the others in the series.

First in the Benni Harper series. We meet Benni approximately 9 months after her husband, Jack, died. She is the "curator" of the local folk art museum that also offers rooms for artists to work. One evening, she finds a dead body and when the police arrive, she meets the interim police chief, Gabriel Ortiz. He is a handsome man but irritating to her. The sparks continue to fly and Benni continues to find dead bodies and poke her nose where it doesn't belong. It nearly gets her killed. Great mystery and a bit of romance too.

Benni Harper, director of a folk-art museum, recent widow, discoverer of two dead bodies, is the central character in this Earlene Fowler murder mystery.
As Carolyn G. Hart, an award-winning author put it, "Benni Harper is bright, fresh, funny - and endearing."

I loved her first book. It was so good I bought the whole series. I think Earlene's writing remindes me of Sue Grafton's alphabet series.
