Readers who love cozy mysteries can't stop singing the praises of Hadley Carroll, a journalist and quilter who lives in Paducah, Kentucky, the Quilt Capital of the World.
This witty, generous, and damaged narrator imbues this series with humor, vulnerability, and perceptiveness without shying away from weighty issues. Readers have thanked the author for treating them like adults by facing difficulties head-on, while keeping overt violence off the page and avoiding gore, cursing, or graphic sex scenes.
Hadley's friends, fellow quilters, and eventual love interest help her to navigate her way past grief into the realm of forgiveness, love, and self-acceptance, all while solving complex crimes and battling her nemesis, a regional crime boss.
