About this listen

Abbey Chandler and her fellow sewing circle members live in the quaint, touristy town of Hideaway Cove. Abbey Chandler needs a new start and a place to escape, so Hideaway Grove, where she spent her childhood summers, seems like a perfect choice. Once there, she takes up a rewarding new hobby—but also gets tangled up in a hit-and-run homicide…

Abbey has barely arrived in the quaint, quiet town of Hideaway Grove before things turn from blissful to bloody—as the new librarian is mowed down by a car. The only witness on the scene isn’t much help, aside from handing Abbey the bag of books dropped by the victim. Even worse, the sheriff’s office seizes Abbey’s car because of a suspicious dent in the right front fender.

While she waits for the problem to be sorted out, Abbey is drawn into a charity sewing project—even though she can’t tell a bobbin from a seam ripper. Before she knows it, she’s graduating from pillowcase dresses to aprons, setting up a studio in a back room of her aunt’s bakery, and making plans to participate in the upcoming craft fair.

But through it all, she keeps looking for patterns and possible conflicts in the late librarian’s personal, professional, and romantic life. Then a shocking discovery sends her in a new direction, and as the truth begins to unspool, she’s got a notion about who’s guilty…

Great storyline and good characters. The book was both entertaining and enthralling.. Looking forward to next book

Good and worth reading

I do like Cozy Mysteries but, to be honest, I don’t like it when the Totally Amateur, totally unqualified, sleuth, doesn’t work with the official officers (& there’s always one who is willing to listen), or who doesn’t heed when they say not to get involved… so therefore, I didn’t really enjoy this tale and won’t listen to the rest of the series.

I wasn’t overly impressed by the narrator, but more of a personal preference than a qualitative one.

It does highlight a good charity, however.

Not my type of Cozy
