Book Description
For Benni, the annual State Fair is a much anticipated break in her routine of overseeing museum exhibits, temperamental artists, and stubborn cattle. This year they are showing traditional African- American quilts. But when one is stolen and it leads to a cold-blooded murder, Benni realizes there is more to this fair, and she'll have to see who is really a wolf in sheep's clothing.
About the Author
Earlene Fowler was raised in La Puente, California, by a Southern mother and a Western father. She lives in Southern California with her husband, Allen, a large number of quilts, and twenty pairs of cowboy boots.

So glad Benni's back!,
By K. Thomas - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: State Fair (Hardcover)
I've enjoyed Earlene Fowler's books for years and this is no exception. Thanks for bringing Benni back! My favorites in this series are Fool's Puzzle, Irish Chain, and Steps to the Altar but I think they are all great books and she has allowed her characters to mature and change throughout. I first started reading the series because of the quilting tie-in but they are really more about friendship, family and love.

Earlene Fowler's Benni Harper books are one of my all time favorites. It was great to read about Benni and feel like part of her family again. This is one of the only authors that I like to buy the book and then the audio CD also. The audio's for this series are great and Johanna Parker sounds exactly like what I would expect Benni to sound like. I am looking forward to hearing the audio version of this book also and can't wait for the next book in the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars
enjoyable whodunit.,
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: State Fair (Hardcover)
Benni Harper Ortiz is the curator of the Sinclair Folk Art Museum and Artist's Co-op. She has every intention of enjoying the San Celina Mid-State Fair in Paso Robles. The Ebony Sisters Quilt Guild, a spin off of the San Celina Quilt Guild, supports an exhibit of African-American quilts. The headliner is a copy of the renowned Harriet Powers' classic story quilt that took one year to replicate.Benni's plans to enjoy the fair are crushed when she learns the Powers' duplication was stolen. She also finds out that the first black manager of the fair Levi Clark has been receiving hate mail. Trouble comes in threes when Benni finds a corpse in the Piebald Family Farm Exhibit. The victim is white male Calvin Jones, who was dating Les' daughter and at one time was involved with supremacist skinheads. Benni and her Aunt Garnet investigate only to end up in danger from someone who kills without remorse. It has been a few years since Benni's last inquiry (see Tumbling Blocks), but fans of the series will appreciate her return and that of other friends as the State Fair proves an exciting venture. Putting aside the amateur sleuth too often finding a corpse (see Delectable Mountains) and need to investigate, readers will enjoy the often amusing inquiry by niece and aunt while the heroine's grandmother has a tendency to cool the heat between Benni and her spouse Gabe. Long time fans will welcome Benni back into the fold with this enjoyable whodunit. Harriet Klausner |
