Description
A baseball coach is felled by foul play, and it's up to a clever quilter to catch the killer in this "pleasurable and satisfying" mystery (Library Journal).
Baseball may be America's official favorite pastime, but for Martha Rose and her friends, quilting is far more fun...and a lot less dangerous.
A diamond brocade pattern is more quilter Martha Rose's style than a baseball diamond—especially when it comes to the new eyesore of a stadium ruining her lovely San Fernando Valley neighborhood. Martha doesn't know a bunt from a bundt cake, but when she stumbles upon the battered body of baseball coach Dax Martin, she doesn't need a scorecard to know it's foul play. LAPD homicide detective Arlo Beavers is convinced one of her neighbors is responsible. But Martha and her fellow quilters Lucy and Birdie soon discover a whole field of suspects who might have wanted to take the coach out of the game permanently...
"What's knot to love? Mary Marks has crafted another winner stitched together with humor and heart—Martha Rose is one gutsy lady." —Rochelle Staab, author of the Mind for Murder mysteries
"Recommended to those who cannot get enough of Terri Thayer, Elizabeth Craig, or Earlene Fowler."—Library Journal

When quilter Martha Rose heads out on her morning walk, she finds the battered body of baseball coach Dax Martin in the arroyo behind her house. Martha calls her boyfriend, LAPD homicide detective Arlo Beavers, but when he detains her sweet neighbor Ed for questioning, she is determined to find the killer. Dax was a bully and a blowhard who clashed with several people in the neighborhood over the new baseball stadium built in Martha's Encino backyard. Ed uncovered some financial shenanigans in the stadium's construction, making him the perfect patsy for framing. As Martha investigates, she proves that she is definitely a kuchleffel (Yiddish for a busybody). VERDICT This second cozy outing (after Forget Me Knot) is a pleasurable and satisfying addition to any quilting mystery fan's reading list. Recommend to those who cannot get enough of Terri Thayer, Elizabeth Craig, or Earlene Fowler.
