Craig is a great storyteller and keeps you wanting to know more. I cannot wait for the next book! The Quilt that KnewThe Quilt that KnewSandy Abd The Quilt That Knew is another great book by Patrick E. Craig. Jenny Hershberger and Bobby Halverson from the Apple Creek Dreams series are back, but now they are working on a cold murder case. This book had you sitting on the edge of your seat trying to figure out “who done it.” Once I started reading it I could not put it down until I finished it. There were so many surprises and twists. First the dead girl in the box, then another dead body found in the woods, and finally the d**g overdose of a main suspect. And when Jenny and Bobby start looking at these clues, mysterious things start to happen. This is a “must read” for everyone. I loved this book.

And my favorite line: The Quilt That KnewThe Quilt That Knew“And I was thinking that the Amish community is not the peachy-keen, perfect world that most people think it is, especially those Englischers who buy those ‘Amish fiction’ books off the shelf at Walmart. Amish fiction, indeed!” And I was thinking that the Amish community is not the peachy-keen, perfect world that most people think it is, especially those Englischers who buy those ‘Amish fiction’ books off the shelf at Walmart. Amish fiction, indeed!And, perhaps, my friends, that line best encapsulates what Patrick Craig does best—pure and honest portrayals of the Amish as people with real passions and faults, and not the idealistic fantasies of so many others. And that, is refreshing. Scott R. Rezer — Author of The Butcher’s Bride, The Leper King and Love Abideth Still A murder mystery set in an Amish community is surprising in itself; but a story that involves multiple murders? A popular cliche that we hear when discussing old houses is, if those walls could talk. In this tale by Patrick E. Craig, the investigators wish the quilt could talk. A retired sheriff and his Amish neighbor are called back to their old stomping grounds to assist in a 40 year old cold case that has been just recently uncovered. Jenny, with her knowledge of the Wooster, Ohio Amish community history finds that her mother’s quilting journal is a key component to solving the crime. While trying to narrow the suspects, they encounter another related cold case and have to consider a current murder besides. Stitching all of this information together becomes quite the dilemma and following the action will keep you on pins and needles. Get yourself a copy of this yarn and try to piece it together for yourself. if those walls could talkCalvin Douglas Smith
