"The latest novel in the national bestselling Haunted Yarn Shop Mystery series Yarn shop owner Kath Rutledge is at a historic farm in Blue Plum, Tennessee, volunteering for the high school program Hands on History. But when a long-buried murder is uncovered on the property, Kath needs help from Geneva the ghost to solve a crime that time forgot... Kath and her needlework group TGIF (Thank Goodness It's Fiber) are preparing to teach a workshop at the Holston Homeplace Living History Farm, but their lesson in crazy quilts is no match for the crazy antics of the assistant director, Phillip Bell. Hamming it up with equal parts history and histrionics, Phillip leads an archaeological dig of the farm's original dump site--until one student stops the show by uncovering some human bones. When a full skeleton is later excavated, Kath can't help but wonder if it's somehow connected to Geneva, the ghost who haunts her shop, and whom she met at this very site. After Phillip is found dead, it's up to Kath to thread the clues together before someone else becomes history"--Page [4] of cover. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

The main character, Kath, is pleasant, intelligent, independent, can see ghosts, and in most respects acts like a mature adult. But she doesn't like the Deputy in charge of murder investigations. His name is Cole Dunbar but she calls him "Clod" Dunbar in each and every book because someone, somewhere must think it's cute and funny. It's neither, but it is childish.
Kath is surrounded by a group of lovely friends who are all equally intelligent. Until they get together and start calling themselves a "posse" and "operatives" and discussing "their investigations" and "their assignments". It all sounds like a bunch of grown adults playing at being children pretending to be Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys.
It felt so silly, I just couldn't continue on. But I did skip through and read the last few chapters; I think it's probably a pretty good mystery and readers of the series get to find out what happened to Geneva, the ghost that haunts the yarn shop. Incidentally, she has become a very interesting character in her own right; a lot of my complaints about earlier books centered on the fact that she was just a big old sloppy mess of a ghost - every time you turned a page, she was crying rivers over something or other. She's not like that anymore. And it looks like Kath has finally started looking at those magical-dye journals of her grandmother's too.
All in all, I'm not going to rate this one because I think the series has merit as a cozy mystery series: it's well-written and well-plotted. It might appeal to a lot of people who don't find insurmountable the same things I do. But I am bummed - I was really excited about this series at the beginning and it's never fun to have your excitement fizzle out.
Ah, well.... Next!
