Delightfully charming mystery brimming with mystery, a little romance and a lot of fun!, Oct 5 2010
By Sharon Galligar Chance - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pinned for Murder (Mass Market Paperback)
In Elizabeth Lynn Casey's new book, PINNED FOR MURDER, the third installment of her Southern Sewing Circle Mystery series, a mysterious murder that involves one of their own has the Sweet Briar Ladies' Society Sewing Circle in a tizzy, and they once again look to their favorite librarian Tori Sinclair to help piece together the clues.After a devastating tropical storm ravages Sweet Briar, many of the town folks are busy cleaning up the damage left behind, some with the help of a band of drifters who have come to town seeking work. Tori has her hands full at the library which has lost a lot of books due to the storm, but when she hears that fellow Sewing Circle member Rose's house was heavily hit, she and the other ladies are concerned about their friend. Rose assures them that her former student, Kenny Murdock, will be doing her repairs as soon as he finishes up next door at Martha Jane Barker's house. But when Martha Jane is found strangled to death in her bedroom and all her stashed-away money is gone, all suspicions turn to Kenny, who is known for having a violent temper.
Something doesn't seem quite right to Tori, and she begins to check into the crime and Kenny's involvement as a favor to her dear friend Rose. With the help of her beau, Milo, and the ladies of the sewing circle, Tori soon finds that one should never make assumptions when it comes to murder - especially when somebody has been playing Robin Hood about town - taking from the rich to give to the poor.
Mixing a suspenseful story with a dash of down-home flavor, Elizabeth Lynn Casey once again offers an up-close look at Southern small-town living with PINNED FOR MURDER. Visiting with the charmingly eccentric folks of Sweet Briar is like taking a trip back home and readers will enjoy catching up on all the gossip from the ladies of the sewing circle, as well as a peek into the romantic relationship between Tori and Milo.
Elizabeth also includes instructions on making the fleece scarves and hats that the ladies of the sewing circle are busy making for Tori's charity project!
So, grab a nice cool glass of sweet tea and sit a'spell with this delightful mystery - you'll be glad you did.

A great little Southern mystery, Oct 5 2010

This review is from: Pinned for Murder (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm not a big fan of the mystery genre - I feel it's been played out and there's little room for originality, but instead, you have to go and make the characters memorable in order for me to care about the people involved. And despite thinking I wouldn't be won over by these eccentric Southern women, I was.The Sweet Briar ladies are certainly unique characters, and they sucked me into their world with the folksyness and their Southern charm. Sure, there wasn't that much in terms of new ground being broken in the genre, but they made the series for me. I did feel like I did miss a bit because this is the third book in the series, but it wasn't that bad.
Overall, it's a cute mystery, and I'll have to start from the beginning. Despite me not being into sewing and being a Yankee, I liked it, and would recommend it to mystery lovers for the characters alone.

a great mystery, Oct 17 2010
By D. Love "I love to read!" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pinned for Murder (Mass Market Paperback)
What a story! Rose believes that her former student could not be a murderer, so Tori and her friends are doing everything they can to prove his innocence, but everything is not as it appears. This is one those stories where you get wrapped up in the character's lives that you're pulling for them in every step they take. There were a couple of tender and warm-filled moments that made this book a worthwhile read.
