Harriet Truman / Loose Threads Mystery #13
A Quilt of a Different Color
The new year is unusually cold in Foggy Point, Washington. As a result, the new manager of the equestrian center asks Harriet Truman and her quilt group The Loose Threads to make a special type of saddle blanket designed to keep a horse's kidneys warm while they are ridden in the cold.
As Harriet and Jenny's foster kids board their horses there, the Threads agree. They soon find themselves getting more involved at the stable, volunteering for the equine therapy program the local homeless veterans participate in.
The quilters quickly discover that the disabled husband of the new stable manager, Simon, not only teaches young women to ride, he gropes them every chance he gets.
The local homeless veterans are invited to participate in a horse therapy program at the stable, and the quilters volunteer to help. It quickly becomes clear that one of the veterans has a past history with Simon, and it isn't a good one.
Tension at the stables rises as Simon's behavior continues to offend. Harriet and the Threads decide to spend more time observing riding classes, preventing Simon from having time alone with the female students. Their guard duty comes to an end almost before it begins when someone puts a more permanent end to Simon's bad behavior.
More than one person had reason to wish him dead, but who did the deed?

This series grew on me, and I am sorry that this is the last book so far. I hope the author writes more! I love the quilting references. I know the characters well and enjoy their habits and quirks. These women now feel like my friends. The books are not literature and are definitely fluff, but they are fun.

Credevo che questa serie fosse finita, così sono stata contenta di scoprire che era uscito questo libro. La storia è buona, ma non riesco a racappezarmi che una persona possa ucciderne un'altra per un motivo quasi banale, tenuto conto, poi, che le escono i soldi dalle orecchie.

I literally couldn't put this book down. I have bonded with all of the characters from book one as I am a quilter too. This is a fast paced mystery and I didn't see the ending coming. This author Arlene Sachitano keeps you interested from the beginning of each of her books. Highly recommend.

Since the author is a friend, I read and love all her mysteries. This is her 13th Harriet Tubman mystery with the Loose Threads, and I hope she reads many more. They take place in the NW with some sites I know.

a very fine read
It never ceases to amaze me how many scrapes Harriet and her friends can get involved in. This one was an edge of your seat page turner.
