About The Author

Maggie Sefton is the author of the New York Times bestselling Knitting Mysteries. She was born and raised in northern Virginia, where she received her bachelor’s degree in English literature and journalism. While Sefton has worked as both a CPA and a real estate broker, she feels that neither of those endeavors compare to the challenge of creating worlds on paper. She is the mother of four grown daughters, currently scattered around the globe, and resides in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado with two very demanding dogs.Jane Jacobs (1916–2006) was a writer who for more than forty years championed innovative, community-based approaches to urban planning. Her 1961 treatise The Death and Life of Great American Cities became perhaps the most influential text about the inner workings and failings of cities, inspiring generations of planners and activists.

I'm a hardcore knitter, I was knitting while reading this book on my Kindle. But by the third (then fourth, fifth, etc.) time the sa......more

Goodreads review by Sierra on November 08, 2017

The only reason this is getting 2 stars instead of 1 is because I actually finished reading it. But wow. It was bad. There were several things that bothered me throughout, like Kelly being a classic too stupid to live heroine, the atrocious dialogue, the lack of any kind of character depth, the compl......more
