Fat Quarters - Paperback

by Marjory Sorrell Rockwell (Author)

"Normally, I don't read cozy mysteries. I prefer hard-hitting, fist-in-the-face noirs. But I was given an advance copy of Fat Quarters ... and found I couldn't put it down. In fact, I went back and started reading the entire Quilters Club series. I fell in love with those four middle-aged girlfriends and their assorted grandchildren and wacky neighbors who inhabit a small Midwestern town. Four stars." - Edward Squires, editor of Not Quite a Novella Flying saucers? Skydivers without parachutes? Mob hits? A wagonload of gold hidden in 1830? Here, Maddy Madison and her Quilters Club pals solve a murder and locate a buried treasure with the help of her precious granddaughter Aggie and brainiac grandson N'yen ... and an antique Map quilt that people are willing to kill to get. This marks the return of a weird purple-eyed UFO investigator, the appearance of a sinister new antiques dealer, and a rough landing by a pilot known as Upside Down Lou. This marks another visit to the small town of Caruthers Corners, Indiana -- home of the Quilters Club.
