The Quilts of Love seriesfocuses on the women who quilted all of these things into their family histories.

About the book: Tess has taken some ribbing from her fellow officer, Logan, for her quilting hobby. He finds it hard to align the brisk professional officer he patrols with during the day with the one who quilts in her off-time. Besides, he’s been trying to get to know her better and he’d like to be seeing her during those couple nights a week she spends with her quilting guild.Then one afternoon Tess and Logan visit her aunt in the nursing home and she acts agitated when Tess covers her with the story quilt. Aunt Susan seems to be communicating a message to them about Tess’s uncle. There’s a story behind this quilt, they realize, one that may lead them to a serial killer. Will they have a chance to have a future together or will the killer choose Tess for his next victim before they find him?

My thoughts:  I am in love with the Quilts of Love series and this addition to the series is no less than the rest.  I love the murder/suspense of this book.  Here you have a cop, following in her family footsteps.  She gets a new partner.  This partner of course is handsome and talented. . . oh and single!  But they now have murders to investigate and old mysteries to solve as well as new ones.  Plus our main character has to deal with her beloved aunt being abused.  What can she do?  What does she do?  And are the mysteries solved or will she too become a victim?  Powerful story.  This author deals with abuse, power struggles, and much more in this one novel and does it in such a way that she makes her point while still having a good read for the rest of us.  Well done!  Scraps of Evidence should be added to everyone’s must read list!  And of course there is the beautiful quilt . . . . and the common denominator of all the fabric pieces. . .  besides all being blue!
