Summary
Welcome to the quaint village of Blueberry Cove, Maine, where an expert seamstress turned amateur sleuth is getting measured for murder...
Iris Buckley is sew ready for a change. After the death of her beloved grandfather, Iris decides to stay in her Maine hometown to help out her widowed grandmother, Anne-and bring her online hand-made apron designs to real-time retail life. Her and Anne's shop, Ruffles & Bows, is set to include all the latest and vintage linen fashions, a studio for sewing groups and classes, and a friendly orange cat. The only thing that they were not planning to have on the property? A skeleton in the basement.
Anne recognizes the remains of an old friend, and when a second body shows up in the apron shop-this time their corrupt landlord, whom Anne had been feuding with for decades-she becomes a prime suspect. Now, it's up to Iris to help clear her name. Enlisting the help of her old high-school crush Ian Stewart who, like certain fabrics, has only gotten better-looking with age and her plucky BFF Madison Morris, Iris, must piece together an investigation to find out who the real killer is ...and find a way to keep her brand-new business from being scrapped in the process.

A predictable and gentle story
The story line is very similar to others in this genre and is an easy listed. The narrator captures the characters well. It is an easy listening escape.

The narrator
Why are voice actors with elderly sounding voices chosen the narrate a book with a young woman as the main character. It took a while before I realised she was not over 65! Totally distracting thoroughout the whole story, which, by the way, is a pleasant cosy murder mystery. Overall an easy book to do one's chores to.

Nice, gentle listen.
It is very American and the narrator has an American accent, but it is still an enjoyable listen.
This book isn't going to change your life, but it made me smile. It was a lovely listen when doing my own sewing.
I am quite happy to recommend this book.
