- Summary
- With her acclaimed mysteries Fool's Puzzle and Irish Chain, Earlene Fowler introduced Benni Harper, the ex-cowgirl and quilter of San Celina, whose crime-solving talents are as colorful and complex as the patchwork patterns she loves.
- After a whirlwind marriage to Gabe Ortiz (and ignoring predictions that the sassy blonde and the stone-faced cop may kill each other before their first anniversary), Benni visits his hometown near Wichita. At a rowdy backyard barbecue, she meets Tyler Brown, an aspiring country singer with a promising future - and a fascinating past. Once, Tyler lived a simple Amish life as Ruth Stoltzfus.
- After leaving behind a stoic husband and being shunned by an entire community, she's determined to make it on her own, selling her exquisite handmade quilts to get by. But her gifts - and her life - are cut short when she's murdered. Out of his jurisdiction, Gabe is frustrated to sit on the sidelines while his friends are investigated - and furious that it's Benni doing the investigating.
- But tensions flare as Gabe and Benni argue about more than the murder case that's come between them. Benni tries to crack the silence surrounding Gabe's past - and learns that her marriage is much like Kansas weather: unpredictable and bound to be stormy.
