Book Overview

Benni Harper--spirited ex-cowgirl, quilter, and folk art expert--finds herself on the trail of a storybook killer in this mystery from Agatha Award-nominee Earlene Fowler. Hoping to relax after solving a murder in Wichita, Kansas, Beni and her new husband Gabe Ortiz are back in San Celina, California. But while Benni is jogging in the park, she happens upon the dead body of a library storyteller. It's an odd and disturbing scene--the woman is still dressed in her Mother Goose costume, lying facedown in the lake. Benni's investigation takes her inside the Storyteller's Guild, where she finds out that Mother Goose was telling more than fairy tales. She was capable of airing the kind of secrets that destroy lives--and inspire revenge... This description may be from another edition of this product.

Excellent READ

I have also have enjoyed reading Kansas Troubles, Dove in the Window and Mariner's Compass. I love quilts and mysteries...

Earlene Fowler's books....better and better!
