CRAFTING CAN BE DANGEROUS!

There are so many genres or types of mysteries being published these days, and there's something for everyone.  One popular type of mystery is the crafty mystery.  No matter what type of craft you enjoy, there's bound to be a mystery with a theme about your favorite craft or hobby. 

When I first started looking for crafty mysteries, I really didn't realize there were quite so many. This post will focus on quilting-themed mysteries. Other types of crafty mysteries will be featured in future posts.

Earlene Fowler writes the Benni Harper series featuring quilts and cowboys.  This series is set in a town on the central coast of California.  She has written 15 books in this series, of which Spider Web is the latest. Some of the titles in the series are Fool's Puzzle, Irish Chain, Tumbling Blocks, and Mariner's Compass.

 

Terri Thayer is a quilter who loves to write mysteries.  Like Earlene Fowler, Thayer books have titles named after quilt blocks.  Visit her website to find out more about this series set in California.

                                      

A Chicago native, Clare O'Donohue, worked as a producer on the HGTV show, Simply Quilts.   This series is set in Archer's Rest, New York.

                                                            

            

                                         

This post would not be complete without including the popular series by Jennifer Chiaviarini.  The Elm Creek Novels are not mysteries, but historical novels.  Chiaviarini also writes instructional quilting books to go along with the novels.  She even has a fabric line with the collections named after her novels
