Amanda Lee stitches up a fun, quick, enjoyable read with Thread Reckoning!, Sep 6 2011
By Cheryl Koch - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: Thread Reckoning: An Embroidery Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
Marcy Singer is the owner of the Seven Year Stitch, an embroidery shop. Marcy's newest client is Cassandra Wainwright. One of the worst bridezilla's that Marcy has ever met. Marcy is making a wedding dress for Cassandra. Cassandra's soon to be mother-in-law has donated some jewels to be added to the dress. Things turn sour when Cassandra's mother-in-law is found dead in front of the shop. As if the situation could get any worse, Marcy's ex, David arrives in town and wants Marcy back.Calling all cozy mystery fans. If you have not read the Embroidery Mystery series yet, than you are missing out. If you have read this series, than you will like Thread Reckoning, the latest book in the series. Marcy is a delight. She reminded me a little bit like Nancy Drew. She could not stay out of trying to solve the murder and she can not help but haul all of her friends into her investigation.
There is not a lot of stitching going on but it is kind of hard to get any done with a dead body on your front step and you named as a person of interest. The reason that I mention there not being a lot of stitch work is because that is one thing that I would have liked to see in a book that makes reference to embroidery work. There was one point in the book that I did smile about. It was when one of the ladies that Marcy teaches, made a mistake in her embroidery project and wanted Marcy to fix it for her. Marcy brought the woman over to look at one of Marcy's pieces and asked the woman to pick out Marcy's mistake and the woman could not. Marcy said there is a mistake but that only Marcy and the woman would ever know about it. Anyone who has done embroidery work has learned to accept mistakes as giving their piece uniqueness. I know I sure have learned this lesson or I would never do cross stitch/embroidery work again, if I didn't learn to deal with my mistakes. Overall, I did enjoy this book. Amanda Lee stitches up a fun, quick, enjoyable read with Thread Reckoning!

Cute but the plot is tired, Nov 13 2011

Sure, Marcy Singer is a likable main character. Unfortunately, the plot is tired--single gal who has her own business is torn between two men (a la Joanne Fluke's Hannah Swensen) and somehow finds herself in the middle of a series of murders. The thing that really got me was the ending...it took an entire book to build suspense and then *wham* the book ended without so much as coming full circle on the love triangle...we knew Marcy was going with one fellow while the other ended up taking someone else to the masquerade ball, but nothing was ever said about him or his date. Perhaps the editor nixed some copy...whatever the case...the ending was lame.

I enjoyed this book until the end which abruptly stopped. My feeling is that to actually end this story the author needed at least one more chapter to bring it to completion. Why she didn't make that effort will always be a mystery along with several other loose ends that exist within this tale.
Listmania!
