Jennifer Chiaverini wrote a wonderful series about the Elm Creek Quilts. She brought it to a close, or so she thought! The characters kept popping up in her head and she finally gave in to them and wrote The Museum of Lost Quilts. It is a wonderful read! The quilters are working to save an old building (from a really nasty bully). Summer is taking a break from working on her Master's and is home to help out. Old quilts are found, donated or loaned as an exhibit comes together to raise money. There are some wonderful stories about those quilts, and the history of the area. It was nice to meet up with old friends again.

You might want to read Murder in the Alps (High Society Lady Detective Book Eight) by Sara Rosett on a hot day! The descriptions of the alps are, well, chilling! What starts out as a nice holiday filled with ice-skating and show shoeing turns into a most interesting case for Olive. What looks like an unfortunate accident, but (of course) is anything but, proves to be quite the challenge. It looks as if the victim was killed by a falling icicle, after all there are no footprints other than the victims to be found, and the piles of snow on railings and so forth are pristine, but the body is too far from the roofline for that to be possible. Turns out there are lots of motives among the other guests ... so ... who did it? And how?
