Della Wright has traded homes with her childhood friend Matthew
Baker. It is a win-win situation for both of them. She will
start her new weaving business and he will be closer to work
and his current girlfriend. In order to get customers and
promote her business, Della is offering classes and will make
baby blankets for the nearby hospital. Della is surprised
that so many have turned up to make baby blankets - including
David Swanson, local realtor with anger management issues.
He had a run -in with Jeremy Fox and threatened to kill him!
Now it looks like Matthew will be moving home as he is under
contract to write a book. Since the house will not work for
the two of them on a long term basis, Della decides to take
David up on his offer to check out some local properties.
They had to cut short the tour of the one property Della really
liked since David's ex-wife and Jeremy Fox were there. Rather
than have another run-in David and Della left. They do go
back the next morning only to find a dead body in the smallest
bedroom. Della feels responsible for being at the scene of
the murder, since David will likely be the prime suspect.
Will she be able to find the killer or will she just end up
warped?
Things to ponder: Who did the victim meet the night he was
murdered? Was it really an accident that killed Dolores's
husband - or was it murder? Why did Mike really divorce Jenny?
I really love it when I find a new series and can't put down
the book until I finish it. There are quirky characters and
red herrings that will keep you turning the pages. I really
hope the author is busy writing and plotting the next weaving
mystery. If you need a fix before the next book is out, check
out another good read: Getting Skinny by Monique
Domovitch who just also happens to write under the name Carol
Ann Martin. So if you like to get crafty with your mysteries,
then you should read Looming Murder.
