Quilts of Love KINDLE FIRE HDX Giveaway | Review of Barbara Cameron’s SCRAPS OF EVIDENCE


About Quilts of Love: Quilts tell stories of love and loss, hope and faith, tradition and new beginnings. The Quilts of Love series focuses on the women who quilted all of these things into their family histories. A new book releases each month and features contemporary and historical romances as well as women's fiction and the occasional light mystery. You will be drawn into the endearing characters of this series and be touched by their stories.

About the book: Tess has taken some ribbing from her fellow officer, Logan, for her quilting hobby. He finds it hard to align the brisk professional officer he patrols with during the day with the one who quilts in her off-time. Besides, he's been trying to get to know her better and he'd like to be seeing her during those couple nights a week she spends with her quilting guild.

Then one afternoon Tess and Logan visit her aunt in the hospital and she acts agitated when Tess covers her with the story quilt. Aunt Susan seems to be communicating a message to them about Tess's uncle. There's a story behind this quilt, they realize, one that may lead them to a serial killer. Will they have a chance to have a future together or will the killer choose Tess for his next victim before they find him?

My review: I found parts of this story enjoyable, but found something lacking in the criminal aspect to it.  I loved the characters, the romantic relationship, and the setting.  St. Augustine sounds like a wonderful historic town in Florida that I would love to visit.  However, there wasn't much to the suspenseful side of the story.  We don't get a whole lot of information about the serial killer's crimes and it's pretty obvious right from the outset who it is.  In fact, it was so obvious I thought he was a red herring, but no.  Then there isn't really any wrap-up.  We don't get a reason or explanation for the crimes.  I did like the story overall and am glad I read it.  Just be aware there isn't much to the suspense.

I received a free copy of this book from Litfuse Publicity in exchange for an honest review.
