The Southern Sewing Circle mystery series continues. Yankee librarian Tori Sinclair is basking in the warmth of her new circle of friends from South Carolina's Sweet Briar Ladies Society sewing circle. That is until local author Colby Calhoun reveals an unflattering secret about the town's historic past-and then disappears, leaving a bloody trail behind him. And when Tori begins to see a pattern of the townsfolk's age-old Southern pride standing in the way of justice, she knows it's time to unravel the mystery.A thoroughly enjoyable, entertaining, well-written read! The characters in this book are just so unique, comical and each special in their own way! Easy, fun read which anyone (probably female) would enjoy and you don't have to even like sewing to enjoy it! Second in the series, Casey continues right where she left off in Sew Deadly. Tori is the new librarian. She is no longer under suspician for murder and she has even begun cultivating friends of the previous librarian. While still on probation with the sewing circle, Tori is drawn further and further into the everyday life of Sweet Briar.During an annual event, the resident author and local celebrity informs the town that their local history is a lie. Their town was not destroyed by the North during the Civil War, but was in fact, burnt to the ground by the local moonshine family. Every resident in Sweet Briar is furious and threats abound. Tori assumes that the threats are just talk and she is astounded when the sewing circle turns their backs on the wife of the author. Tori knows what it is like to have your friends (albiet new friends) suddenly turn away, so she stands firm and tries to be loyal, even accompanying her home as a show of friendship. But upon arrival, they find blood, a note, a knife, and no husband.Tori is disappointed in her friends, but she will find the author's body and bring closure to her friend, all she has to do is keep her ear to the ground and maybe an eye on her library patrons. Can she solve the mystery again? Casey continues to add depth to her protagonist, while adding uniqueness to each of her supporting characters. Again the plot is thorough and believable.
