Description

About the Author Arlene Sachitano started life as a military brat. Her dad retired and moved the family to the Pacific Northwest where she still lives. She started knitting, writing and sewing at a young age and still does all three. A thirty year diversion into the high tech industry, along with marriage and children, prevented her from taking action on her desire to write novels inspired by her love of Agatha Christie until recently.Arlene spends her days writing her novels, babysitting her grandchildren, quilting, knitting and promoting her books. She is active in the Harriet Vane Chapter of Sisters in Crime in Portland, Oregon.

Features & Highlights

  • It seemed like a simple project—make quilts for foster kids getting close to aging out of the system and teach them some useful skills as well. Granted, the foster parents aren’t the most pleasant people, but Luke and Sincere and the others have already had tough lives and say they can handle it. Things get complicated, though, when a reality-TV show gets permission to film the kids and track down their relatives. Foster parent Paul Holloway is murdered, and the “relatives” the TV crew introduces are more than odd. Then, when the producer’s assistant is killed, too, it’s clear there’s some deadly going on—and the kids are the targets.

What a wonderful series

I have never written a review for a book or a series of books, but I just thought this book was wonderful. The whole series is great, and I have read them each several times and seem to get something new from them every time. I love the characters--they are so different from each other by age, stage of life, backgrounds, etc., yet they come together as one to do something good not just for themselves but for their community as well. The writing is excellent, and the topics/mysteries are timely and well presented. I felt like I was there with these amazing women sitting at the dining room table eating brownies and plotting what to do next.
I hope Harriet realizes how lucky she is to have James in her life as well.
I can't wait for the next book--there are so many more stories to be told about Foggy Point and the people that live there.
