Streak of Lightning by Clare O’Donohue the second short story in the “Someday Quilts” mystery series. Publisher: Plume, July 2013
Nell and Jesse are taking time off from work. They’ve bought their tickets and made reservations. Nothing can stop them from enjoying a romantic weekend in New York City…except a murder.
When Joe, the ill-tempered owner of Archer’s Rest’s only pizzeria, gets locked up overnight for disorderly conduct, it turns into a life sentence when he dies in his cell. Jesse’s most trusted deputy was by his side, so what could have gone wrong? This freak event sets the town abuzz like a streak of lightning. How will Nell, Jesse and the Someday Quilts ladies crack this inexplicable case?
Nell and Jesse’s weekend didn’t go as plan but nonetheless Nell and Jesse spent time together doing what they do best; solving a mystery and this was a good one that I read in one sitting. This was a very enjoyable story and a delightful and charming read to tide me over until the next release in the Someday Quilts series.
Think would like this series. Will be adding to my read list.
Clare is another new author to me, but I am happy to add Clare and her series to my list of ever-growing authors and books. This sounds like a really interesting series, unlike most others, so it will be very unique novel I am sure. Thank you for the “interview” with the author and thank you too, Dru.
Sincerely,
Cynthia
Dru, This sounds like another fun read. A new author and series to me. Thanks so much!
Who doesn’t love quilts! The plot line sounds great and like a fun read.
Great I have another tide-me-over Clare book. I love this series & have read these books more than once or twice. They are great she inspires me to work more on all my projects & I have bounced around a lot. Jack of all crafts, master of none. lol. I hope to see Clare at the Houston International Quilt Show this year, I missed seeing her last year.
