I did not seem to connect with this book in the series. I came across the series while searching for more books in a different series. This is by the same publisher so I gave it a try.

Kate is a transplant from Maine to Texas. Vivi is a neighbor of Kate's who welcomed her to the neighborhood and the two have become fast friends.

The book opens at a photo shoot for some of Kate's crocheted creations which is being held on the grounds of a friend of Kate's agent who is a judge. The judge's gardener discovers a skeleton while the photo shoot is going on.

At the moment, the series seems to be setting up both Kate and Vivi with lawmen. (Kate with Peter and Vivi with the lawman who investigates the skeleton.)

For whatever reason in this book, there seems to be less action and more introspection/ description. Also, with Kate being a crochet designer, I almost expect the series to have more crafting/crocheting in it than it does. I guess it is a hard balance to get: enough for the crafter to find interesting but not so much that readers who don't enjoy that craft would get lost or bored. ( )
