As manager (and a violist) of the Oliver, Indiana, Civic Symphony, Joan Spencer has her hands overflowing. The orchestra is rehearsing to play at a prestigious quilt show when elderly Edna Ellett dies, and Joan's prickly daughter Rebecca unexpectedly comes home. Joan hasn't seen or heard from her twenty-year-old daughter for months: both women still grieve the early death of Joan's husband and Rebecca's father. Though Rebecca appears fine, Joan suspects she is troubled, and she braces herself for conflict. Meanwhile, members of Edna Ellett's family search like vultures for the will. On the eve of the quilt show one of them is murdered, and Joan discovers the body underneath a quilt. With the small town of Oliver in a tizzy, Joan joins police officer Fred Lundquist to investigate a mystery with roots - and stitches - deep in history. Humorous and cozy, with each chapter named for a quilt pattern, Sara Frommer's novel will delight musicians, mystery lovers, and anyone who enjoys the art of quilting.
