Carol Dean Jones, a geriatric social worker, was born in Kentucky and is currently living in the West Virginia foothills. She is the author of the popular Quilting Cozy series featuring Sarah Miller.
Sarah Miller is approaching her 70's and her children Martha and
Jason are worried about her. Her husband has died in an accident
and now alone, Martha and Jason suggest she moves into a retirement
village so she can be with more people. Daydreaming about her life
and watching the residents of the Cunningham Retirement Village,
Sarah decides to see what's to do and make some friends. She soon
signs up for computer classes and a quilting class, deciding to
make a quilt from her late husbands ties. This cozy mystery is fun
to read. Sarah reminds me of an older Agatha Raisin, and very soon
when murder and mystery begin, Sarah and her new friend Sophie find
themselves in the thick of the investigation. Of course, quilting
is at the main core of these fabulous novels, and what I love is
the history and information given throughout the book. There is
also an accompanying quilt pattern with each book. Full
instructions and materials are listed, so it's very easy to catch
the quilting bug and sew along with each novel. With funny, amazing
characters these quick reads are just the thing to settle down
with. I read Tie Died in just a few hours and with tea cake and
delicious unexpected twist it was the perfect book for me.
