Buried in Quilts

Joan Spencer, violist and manager of the Oliver, Indiana Civic Symphony, is busy with preparations for the group's performance at the hugely popular annual quilt show. But when the body of show organizer Mary Sue Ellett is found under a quilt, the competition takes on a sinister tone.

Editorial Reviews

Sara Hoskinson Frommer delivers a solidly satisfying, character driven, small town cozy that addresses not only environmental issues but aging, workplace harassment and the impact of death on family and friends left behind. A very enjoyable read.

Sally Powers

A widow with two nearly-grown children, the heroine is appropriately spunky and intelligent. Buried in Quilts is a serviceable, old-fashioned quilt of a book--not fancy or complicated, but colorful, well-made, cozy, and good to curl up with on a cold night.

Margaret Quamme

Verdict: Recommended. If you like quilts, music, and low-key mystery, this one will please.

Elorise Holstad

Frommer creates a persuasive Midwest ambience in this quiet book with its mix of nostalgia and murder. Most striking is her community of what Barbara Pym would call "excellent women," devoted to good works, town culture, and volunteer activities. The contribution of such women is marked in this novel about small-town life, big-time emotion, and the practical poetry of quilts.

Gail Pool

Each chapter is titled with an appropriate quilt block name, and Frommer has captured the charm of small towns well in setting and characters. There's a wee hint of romance, and an example of a quilt's opportunity to become living history. Quilters will have a head start on spotting the clues!
