Sins and Needles (Needlecraft Mysteries) 29 reviews Monica Ferris
Berkley Hardcover, 2006
Oh, please.
A long-lost relative, a hidden treasure map, a murdered matriach leaving behind a quirky will... this story had all the potential to be a page turner. But while this was a well-written book in the language sense, I found the plot extremely difficult to follow.
There were too many new ...

The Bookwoman's Last Fling: A Cliff Janeway Novel (Cliff Janeway Novels) 46 reviews John Dunning
Pocket, 2007
A favorite series
+ A BIBLOPHILE IN EQUESTRIAN TERRITORY
I love the Bookman series by John Dunning. This one had a lot about horse racing. Not a field of interest of mine but that said, I still look forward to the next Bookman. Until I read the book I was worried that this was the last in the series based on the title.
