Dewey Pellicano is looking forward to celebrating the 20th Anniversary of Quilter Paradiso, the quilting shop left to her by her mother. Dewey never caught the quilting bug but realizes she has to learn to keep the store a sucess and as she learns so is starting to love it just as her mom did.
The quilting love goes out the back door as she finds out there is a dead body in the alley behind the store. As if she didnt have enough problems, facing stiff competition from other stores she is barely keeping Quilter Paradiso afloat, she has an employee who happens to be her sister-in-law fighting her every step of the way and she just learned her shop is going to be featured on national television the day before the huge 20th Anniversary Sale. A dead body in the alley is not going to lure customers to her store even if it is on television. She has to scrap together everything she can to find the killer before the sale. Hopefully her hunky detective boyfriend Buster will lend her a hand.

There is just something about these books, once I start them I cant put them down. As I said when I reviewed the first book, Wild Goose Chase, this is a fun series. Dewey is getting stronger. Her romance with Buster is developing nicely. Kym has taken her fight against progress to a whole new level. We are also getting into more of the lives of the supporting characters.
But it is the mystery of who killed the man in the alley that kept the pages turning with its several twists and turns that made me love this book. It was full of surprises and suspense. There are also parts that are laugh out loud funny. Terri has crafted another cozy both quilters and non quilters will absolutely love. I cant wait to read Ocean Waves and Monkey Wrench comes out on May 8.

In book two of the series, Dewey has decided to keep Quilter Paradiso, the quilting store she inherited from her mother. She is pinning her hopes on the 20th anniversary sale to keep the store alive. When a dead body turns up in her ally, she feels she must solve the murder in order to save her shop from the fear people have of shopping at a store where a person was murdered.
