"It's hard to imagine anything bad ever happening in picturesque Haven Harbor, Maine--until a famous face rolls into town and unthreads some very dark secrets. . . Angie Curtis and the Mainely Needlepointers are all too familiar with the Gardener estate. The crumbling Victorian mansion, known as "Aurora," has been sitting vacant for nearly twenty-five years--and some say it's haunted by the ghost of Jasmine Gardener, the teenage girl who died there in 1970 under mysterious circumstances... Harbor Haven is abuzz with excitement when Hollywood actress Skye West decides to buy Aurora and sell off its furnishings. And Angie is intrigued when Skye asks her to appraise the estate's sizable collection of needlepoint pictures. But the more she examines the pieces, the more they seem to point toward Jasmine's murder--and the murderer--and it's up to her to stitch the clues together." -- from publisher's web site.

interesting escape from cozy dilemma submitted by camelsamba on July 4, 2016, 10:56pm I realized that this series has an interesting way to avoid the why "so many murders in such a small town?" problem of many cozies: the crimes are from the past. In this case, 45 years in the past. (In book 1, it was ~18 years.) On the other hand, the culprits are still around, so is it really that different?

Anyway, I enjoyed the story. I got drawn in enough that I actively started writing down my predictions so I could refer back to them when the book drew to a close. My initial ideas were off base, but my refinement was much closer to the reveal.

Minor quibble: there are a couple of pages where one character (Carole) is referred to by the wrong name (Cindy). I was very confused for a few minutes while I tried to figure out how this new person fit in! 3.5 stars.
