    About this audiobook

    It's time for Blue Plum's annual historical festival, and everyone-including Kath and her spunky fiber and needlework group, TGIF-is getting in on the action. Expert spinners are being gathered, and a businessman has approached Kath about using the second-floor windows of her store for part of a reenactment. But the reenactment ends in real-life bloodshed when local baker Reva Louise Snapp is shot-with a bullet from a modern-day gun.

    Kath has her theories about who wanted to end Reva Louise's life. But there's also talk of a sniper stalking Blue Plum, and Kath's shop is suspected to be the murderer's hideout. Now Kath, her TGIF pals, and the gloomy ghost, Geneva, must unravel the mystery quickly, or someone else might be left hanging by a thread...

      Last of her books, and am very sad.
      Grown fond of the characters and their antics. Will miss them.
      The author does spin a good yarn.
      Spin...yarn....
      Though sometimes slow and wordy, they all are very good. Enjoy

      This is another thoroughly enjoyable mystery. I love the characters. This one even has a great recipe for vegetarian enchiladas.
    • 3/5
      So-so. Lots of good parts, but isn't, at this rate, a series destined to be a favorite. Summation:Kath Rutledge is settling in as the owner of the Weaver’s Cat, a [haunted] fiber and fabric shop in Blue Plum, Tennessee. It’s time for Blue Plum’s annual historical festival, and everyone is getting in on the action. A businessman has approached Kath about using the second-floor windows of her store for part of a reenactment. But the reenactment ends when local baker Reva Louise Snapp is shot with a bullet from a modern-day gun. What left me wanting:This book made me think about Lynn Truss and her book Eats, Shoots & Leaves. There were a few fine examples in the first half of how a lack of punctuation makes comprehension difficult. • Page 52 has one of the secondary characters, Ardis, writing "PATTERN" on their festival plan. I had to re-read the paragraph 3 times before I figured out it's meant to be an acronym; without that being clear the paragraph made no sense at all. Writing it as "P.A.T.T.E.R.N." probably would have made that clearer. • The ghost that haunts Kath starts speaking in haikus. I've always seen poetry typeset either on it's own, or with each line delineated with a "/". Here it's only italicised, and I wouldn't recognise a haiku if it bit me, so the italics and the strange structure just left me thinking 'wtf?' until the second haiku - it actually had the word "haiku" in it. • After the murder, Kath and the knitters in her group gather and start planning an investigation, talking about how they have to "beat the police to the solution". This is a subjective thing, but I prefer my amateur sleuths to be more subtle and not so obviously 'running an investigation'. In the same vein, one of the knitters gives Kath a notebook to keep investigation notes in and Kath describes it as "something a golden age amateur sleuth would carry". I'm not an expert on golden-age mysteries, but I've read Poirot, Marple, Holmes and Whimsey, and none of them carried notebooks. • This is a personal pet peeve of mine: Kath doesn't get along with the chief investigator, Cole, which is fine, but throughout the entire book she refers to him as "Clod" instead of his name. How old are we?!?! • The plot was...weak. The murderer wasn't telegraphed early, but the motivation when they were revealed was never really explained well. I think a better job could have been done. This was a 300+ page cozy but the murder plot felt unfinished. Too much focus on planning the investigation and not enough planning of the murder itself. • Last and least, there have been hints about Kath's late grandma having witch-like talents. They're just hints and taking us absolutely nowhere. Each book has touched upon it but with no further information being given or discovered. Fish or cut bait on this please Ms. MacRae. What I liked or think improved:• Geneva (the ghost) was SO much better in this book. She's no longer a wailing, soggy mess and I find her so much more entertaining now. • There were noises about a love triangle between Kath and two brothers. It seems nothing is going to come of it, which is good. • I love the setting and all of the characters have potential, although Ardis was weird. Great town, cool knitting/spinning shop and Kath has a very interesting background in fiber conservation I wish we'd hear more about. I hate mysteries like these because they are just good enough to keep me reading, hoping for improvement with each one and seeing just enough that I keep coming back for more. Overall, I'd say if you're hard-pressed to find something to read at the library and you see this one, it's worth giving it a read.

      In MacRae’s paranormal mystery novel, Kath Rutledge owns the Weaver’s Cat, a fiber and fabric shop in Blue Plum, Tennessee. The shop comes complete with a ghost who likes to help solve mysteries. It’s that time of year for the annual historical festival and things are revving up including a reenactment play. But when Reva Louise Snapp is shot and killed during the reenactment, suddenly the festival isn’t so much fun and Kath finds herself looking intimately into Reva’s life. With the help of her friends and the ghost haunting her shop, Kath heads out to find a killer before he kills again.An interesting small town setting complete with quirky characters and a ghost to boot makes this a great addition to the A Haunted Yarn Shop Mystery series.
