Media reviews

'O'Donohue debuts her Someday Quilts Mystery series with a promising story about women's friendshipsand quilting. It is a pleasant, even a gentle read except for the cheating boyfriend and the murder. NellFitzgerald is excited to receive a beautiful, handmade lover's-knot quilt as an engagement gift from hergrandmother, Eleanor. But then things begin to go horribly wrong. Her fiancé, Ryan, suddenly decides tocall off the wedding. Nell leaves New York to visit her grandmother in the small town of Archers Rest. Asthe grieving Nell becomes acquainted with her grandmothers' quilt shop, called Someday Quilts, and hercircle of friends, two more unfortunate events take place: her grandmother breaks her leg, and the body ofa flirtatious handyman is found in the quilt shop. Nell turns her attention to solving the mystery, while thequilters begin to teach her about their art. Fiction about quilting is popular right now, and fans will makethe connection to Jennifer Chiaverini's Elm Creek Quilts books and Emilie Richards' Shenandoah Albumseries. Mystery readers will also think of Earlene Fowler's terrific Benni Harper series. Look forward toNell's further adventures in Archers Rest.'
