Quick summary: quilt shop owner knows more than the police and solves murders. Some cozies have plots that are believable, and some are in the realm of "you've got to be kidding." That's where this one rests. In previous books in the series the main character was involved in solving murders of someone she knew or someone who was close to her in some way. In this one she of course knows more than the police and is intent on solving the murder of a relative stranger for no apparent reason other than putting one over on the sheriff. There is no information as to how the sheriff is proceeding in his investigation - it's all her. I kept wondering why she just doesn't go to a police academy and join the force. I finished it to see who the culprit was, but did not enjoy it. In addition, it was poorly cross-checked and there are several instances where the facts don't make sense (i.e. the dog was leashed and two paragraphs later it's leashed again). I don't think the author cared and just threw this one out there. A disappointment.
