Thirty-year-old techie Dewey Pellicano is trying to make a go of Quilter Paradiso, the quilt shop she inherited from her mother. But she's facing a patchwork of problems?fierce competition, an uncooperative employee (who also happens to be Dewey's sister-in-law) and, oh yes, a dead body in the alley. Dewey pins her hopes on the store's huge 20th anniversary sale and appearance on national television. With the help of her smolderingly hot detective boyfriend Buster Healy, can Dewey save her shop and find the killer? Praise for Terri Thayer's Wild Goose Chase"Cutting-edge drama deftly sliced to reveal the sass beneath the surface of the quilting business." ?Margaret Miller, author of AnglePlay Blocks"Put down your piecework, brew yourself a cup o'Joe, fill up a snack bowl, and laze around the yard this spring with this amusing quilt-themed mystery." ?Mark Lipinski's Quilter's Home Magazine

 Excellent! December 30, 2008
Even better than her first book! I am looking forward to her third. She shows GREAT promise. She makes her characters real to the reader.

While I personally never imagined I would read a book that fell under the theme of a "Quilting Mystery", Old Maid's Puzzle is exactly what the casual weekend reader ordered. This amusing mystery is set in Dewey Pellicano's inherited quilt shop and the readers instantly share her pain and frustration as she deals with the day-to-day struggle to keep her business a float and the non-stop drama of her family, friends and significant other. When a body shows up, Dewey works against the clock to discover the truth behind his death without losing more business. Incredibly entertaining!

This was such a fun book to read. It kept me in suspense and wanting it to go on and on. I love this book and the writing. I would love to read more of her books.

I just recently discovered Terri Thayer; this is the second book I've read. Her style is very light and moves along quickly. I must admit that I got rather frustrated with the way she dealt with her sister-in-law, so when that issue was finally resolved, I wanted to say, 'hallelujah'! I am a quilter, but it's not necessary to be one to enjoy the book. If you like this sort of thing, check out Maggie Sefton. She's a knitter who writes mysteries.
