The Double Wedding Ring: A Someday Quilts Mystery Featuring Nell Fitzgerald

My favourite parts of the books, though, were those that dealt with quilting. I'm a knitter not a quilter for proof, see here but I felt the descriptions of time spent crafting and the relationship of individuals to the making process were authentic and true to my own experience. You do want to give those you love stuff made by your own hand but not just any old thing - these gifts need to be perfect.

I enjoyed this book very much and have since ordered the first four novels so I can catch up on what happened before the former New York cop died. I am pleased to have found another fun craft murder mystery series to add to my shelf and hope that the unusually high per-capita death rate in Archers Rest continues so I can continue to read about it. This book was supplied to me by the publisher via Netgalley but the opinions written in this review are my own. Jun 19, Avid Series Reader rated it liked it Shelves: At the beginning of the series, protagonist Nell Fitzgerald had just fled a high-powered career in New York City, anxious to rest and recover with her grandmother from a broken engagement.

Nell's grandmother Eleanor owns and operates a quilt shop, Someday Quilts. In previous books, Nell and her fellow quilting buddies helped solve crimes in their small town. At first their "interference" irritated police chief Jesse DeWalt, but he came to appreciate their help ferreting out information. Over the past year, Jesse and Nell's friendship has become romance; Nell loves Jesse's young daughter Allie and looks forward to the three of them becoming a family - in the future.

Nell's thoughts these days are dedicated to planning her grandmother's upcoming wedding, just 2 short weeks away. When a man murdered outside Jesse's house one night turns out to be Jesse's former best friend and partner on police force, Nell is alarmed by Jesse's depression and his departure from routine. When the murder is followed by a shooting on Main Street, Nell and her quilt buddies do their usual sleuthing - this time going against Jesse's stern order to stay out of it.

To complicate matters, Nell's parents arrive in town after a year-long trip overseas. Nell's mother urges Nell to reconsider her plans for the future. Nell has quite a challenge handling all these concerns and priorities! All is resolved the crimes and the personal crises in a very clever and satisfying manner. Besides solving a mystery, the book contains plenty of quilting references, descriptions of Nell's and her friends' quilt projects, and an understanding of quilters that rings true.

Sep 20, Dalene rated it liked it Shelves: Original review posted at A Date with a Book Characters: There are several characters in this book. However, having them associated with their store or occupation makes it easy to remember them. I would love to go back and read previous books to get to know them better. I really liked all of the characters. I loved Nell's family. When they all get together, there's a little groveling going on amongst them.

This is a very quaint town. I love all the places on Main Street. The town is that small that everything is right there. I love the gazebo and park, and with the descriptions I can picture them as if I've been there before. With the time of year and the snow, I think I have totally pictured a town that is one you typically see in a Christmas movie. This entire crime sequence was amazing. From the beginning when the body was found, to the end when the resolution came, there were plenty of twists and turns.

I thought I knew who it was and then I would turn the page and think oh no it's someone else. Some awesome red herrings placed in this story. Nell was a great sleuth. I liked her attitude and her ability to handle the balance of the crime and everything else she had going on. Everyone seems to have a little something going on. This is what I liked best about the book.

The romance between couples and new couples popped up everywhere. Even though this was book five of the series, I was not lost in this particular story. I do have a huge desire to read the rest of the books before this. I want to know the pre-story to this book. Eleanor is getting married and that means her friends are planning a wedding quilt and a shower plus Nell is helping with all the wedding details.

Again we are drawn right into the story. Ducking bullets, shivering from the cold, and enjoying that wonderful smell and feel of new fabric. It really makes me miss being able to sew and quilt. I am so impressed with the way I feel when reading these stories. They touch my heart but also test my mind as I follow the clues. Big changes are coming to Someday Quilts as Eleanor takes this big step.

This will be just another twist!! Sep 17, Michelle rated it liked it Shelves: Nell is getting ready for some big changes in her life; with her grandmother about to get married, she is wondering what will happen with the shop and with her living situation. Her relationship with Jesse, the police chief, is also on her mind. The investigation stirs up the past, including memories of Je 3. Jesse becomes distant from Nell and wants her and her friends to stay out of the investigation.

Complicating matters is the arrival of her parents, with her mother wanting her not to settle for small town life and follow her ambitions.

Nell has a lot of choices ahead as she tries to figure out what is going on with Jesse, the murder investigation, and with her path in life. Feb 02, Eadie rated it really liked it Shelves: I started reading this series in and really enjoyed the setting of Archer's Rest located on the Hudson River in up-state New York. The characters are a bunch of fun-loving friends who grew up in this small town, went to school together and now work at the Someday Quilt store.

Nell is dating Jesse, the chief of police, and they get involved in helping him solve some of the murders that happen in town.

Jesse doesn't always want their help as he is afraid for their safety but the women don't always pay attention which leads to lots of fodder for Clare O'Donohue's Someday Quilt series.

Reward Yourself

The books should be read in order as there are relationships which grow throughout the series. This is the 5th and last book in the series and hopefully not the last. I will anxiously wait the next book but in the meantime, I will read the Kate Conway Mystery series which Clare O'Donohue began in also. Murder at the Mansion.
