Best-ever murder mystery about Quiltmakers!

Many of the other 5-star reviews here are eloquent and on-target, so I'll just add that this is the first 'quilt' mystery I've read whose story could stand on its own no matter the milieu, and whose details re quilting and quilters were credible. I enjoyed it, feel like I got a free trip to the quilt mega-festival in Paducah, and will look forward to further series titles. — L


My wife and I just finished reading “Quilt City Murders” out loud. It was a real page-turner! The characters were masterfully drawn, the language was artful, interesting and humorous, and we couldn’t wait to find out what was on the next page. Leonard’s writing style is as accessible as it is clever. I loved the tid-bits of humor peppered throughout. We can’t wait for the next one.            — John D.


The Summary    


Quilter Hadley Carroll thinks her life can’t get any worse after being demoted from reporter to newspaper courier and having her fiancé, Matt Ackerman, dump her without explanation. But then, while chucking a sack of newspapers into the Ohio River in Paducah, Kentucky—known as Quilt City—she finds Matt's body snagged under the transient dock. She knows she’ll never find peace if she doesn’t figure out why he left her and who killed him, so she gets to work.

But the mystery deepens when fellow quilters succumb to foul play, so Hadley must use her investigative skills and impressive intellect to connect a series of seemingly unrelated crimes.
