Book Description

Publication Date: 28 Feb 2005
Life is hectic enough for suburban single mom Jane Jeffrey this Christmas season--what with her having to survive cutthroat church bazaar politics and finish knitting the afghan from Hell at the same time. The last thing the harried homemaker needs is an unwelcome visit from old acquaintance Phyllis Wagner and her ill-mannered brat of a teenage son. And the Wagner picture becomes even more complicated when a dead body is woven into the design.

Solving a murder, however, is a lot more interesting than knitting, so Jane's determined to sew the whole thing up. But with a plethora of suspects and the appearance of a second corpse, this deadly tapestry is getting quite complex indeed. And Jane has to be very careful not to get strangled herself by the twisted threads shes attempting to unravel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jane Jeffry is the best fictional character ever created. 21 Nov 1997
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Jill Churchill really knows her stuff! All of the characters, especially Jane Jeffry, are so true to life I expect to bump into them at the grocery store or the PTA meeting. And the murder mystery is fascinating. I didn't know "who did it" until I read the ending for myself. Thanks!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Fast Effortless Read 21 Jan 1998
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This lighthearted, breezy murder mystery was very easy to figure out early on. That fact, however, did not detract from a fun, enjoyable read. I guess it could be considered bubble gum for the brain, but on a cold and dreary winter day, it's just the ticket.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun whodunnit! 3 Nov 2000
By William Felty - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I disagree with the reader who said this delightful mystery was "easy to figure out". Maybe I'm slow but I found the novel full of fun twists and turns in the life and events of suburban mom-turned sleuth, Jane Jeffrey. The events are set around Christmas so it's fun reading during the holidays (or at any time of year). Jane makes a very human protagonist and one is amazed at her ability to juggle a house of three kids, two cats, one dog, a best friend/neighbor, budding romance with the local police detective, solve two murders, and knit a Christmas afghan all at the same time. Sit back with a warm cup of cocoa and enjoy a delightful book!

This was my second Jane Jeffrey mystery. Unfortunately I am reading them out of order, but they are great reads just the same! Jane is a wonderful character to follow and this story was very interesting and entertaining. I am going out to buy the whole series!
