What Happen to Martha’s Childhood Friend?

Martha Rose is saddened to learn of the death of her childhood friend, Harriet Oliver, and even more surprised to find that she has been named executor of her estate since she and Harriet haven’t spoken in years. Harriet’s death has been ruled natural causes, but Martha has lots of questions about the circumstances of her death. That only grows when she realizes that several items are missing from Harriet’s collection. Is there more to her death than it appears?

The mystery certainly intrigued me, and it moved forward at a steady pace. I did feel the ending was a bit abrupt, but it was suspenseful and answered all of our questions. The characters are wonderful. Martha’s quilting friends are fun, and her love life gets some interesting developments here. Quilting does factor into the mystery in a unique way, and I really enjoyed that. While the book is set during December, it isn’t a Christmas book. There’s a very good reason for it – Martha is Jewish, and I enjoyed learning a bit more about Jewish culture as I read. It’s easy to see why so many people enjoy this series; I’m glad I finally started it.

EPIC

A movie that still scares me even at 39 years old. It's one of the most suspensful thrillers of all time and still ranks high of movies that I can always watch even though it frightens me to death.

This is one of my favorite Universal monster movies. Boris Karloff is perfectly creepy and unnerving. The beginning of the film will stick with me forever, the high pitch scream then sudden death of the archaeologist scared me when I was a child.

Man, Octavia Spencer can act in anything. A brilliantly paced suspense thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat. While the premise is one that has been done to death, Ma puts a great twist on it. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

I love this book so much. Mostly, I think, because of Cessy. She is my hero. Oh, the book?

The tragic death of a friend and incest lizards. Really, isn't that all you need to know?
