Died in the Wool by Rett MacPherson


Torie O'Shea, president of the historical society in New Kassel, Missouri, is excited to discover that the Kendall house is for sale. Tori would like to buy the 19th century home and open up a textile museum highlighting the quilts of Glory Kendall, whose handiwork was shown at the World's Fair. The current owner of the house claims that it's haunted by Glory, who committed suicide there along with her two brothers. After going inside the home for the first time and finding Glory's quilt diary, Tori is convinced that she needs to discover what really went on there many years ago. Tori's journey leads her back to the period after World War I and a story about love, illness, and secrets. Died in the Wool is another solid addition to this long running cozy series. MacPherson is again able to combine a mystery of a genealogical bent with a main character who is a mom with a sense of humor. I really enjoy this series.
