Wild Goose Chase: A Quilting Mystery

Dewey Pellicano would rather swallow needles than run a quilt shop. But Dewey's mom, who died suddenly just six months ago, left Quilter Paradiso to her. This last tie to her mother is spoiled by a conniving employee who's also Dewey's baby-talking sister-in-law. During a national quilt show, Dewey decides she's had enough and agrees to sell Quilter Paradiso to quilting celebrity Claire Armstrong. Her plan unravels when she finds Claire fatally slashed by a rotary cutter. This gruesome tragedy brings homicide detective and old family friend Buster Healey into Dewey's life. Their reunion turns into a hot romance until another murder takes place.

A mysterious notebook written in code helps Dewey thread together the not-so-secret illegal transactions of Claire . . . and her startling connection to Dewey's mom. Can Dewey come to terms with her mother's death, patch things up with Buster, and sew up the case before the killer strikes again?  more

Don't Bother

I love cozy mysteries. I am always looking for new authors. I was so excited to stumble upon this series; however, after I began reading, I was extremely disappointed. I am certainly not a prude, but I definitely didn't appreciate the sex stuff just to be put in for sex. Half the time I...

A promising start

This is a promising first novel that sets up a cast of characters for a new series and leaves plenty to be explored and expanded upon in subsequent novels. I am not a quilter although I have friends who are but I don't need to be involved with a particular hobby or profession to enjoy reading...

Enjoyable light read

I've read a lot of mysteries that I've gotten off of the "local" shelf of bookstores at home (Santa Cruz, CA -- just over the hill from Silicon Valley) and while traveling. Most of them have been fairly bad. "Wild Goose Chase" was a refreshing change.I found the main character to be...

Almost Ready to Quilt

This book has some really good points and I am glad that I read it to the end. Benni oops I mean Dewey is a live wire. She is sensative and has good character. We all know some Kyms and Vangies, they move the book along and give some tension. I liked the quilt show and some of the discriptions...

Disappointing

As an avid quilter and a Christain, I find this book to be very offensive and poorly written. I'm disappointed and won't be reading any more by this author. If you're looking for quality fiction with a quilting theme, read books by Jennifer Chiaverini.

Poorly conceived and poorly written. Don't waste your money!

I am in full agreement with J. Nolan, and I am not a prude. I am a devotee of both Jennifer Chiaverini and Earlene Fowler and was looking forward to a new author writing fiction that involved my other passion, quilting. Unfortunately, this was a complete waste of time. The plot was unexciting and...

wild goose chase

"Wild Goose Chase" is a strong start to what looks to be a promising mystery series. The plot moved a little too slowly for me, but the main character, Dewey Pellicano, was enjoyable enough to keep me reading. The author really develops Dewey, & I am interested to see where the next book takes...

A great book

I thought Dewey was a great protagonist. Growing up in the heart of Silicon Valley myselt, I really enjoyed all the familiarity with the neighborhoods. She was spot on in her descriptions. What a fun way to relive our local PIQF when it won't be back for another 6 months!-Not that PIQF would...
