Readers return to Blue Plum, Tennessee with Molly MacRae's latest book in her Haunted Yarn Shop Mystery series, Spinning in her Grave. It's time for the heritage festival in Blue Plum and one of the big events is the reenactment of the Blue Plum Piglet War. But when things get out of hand and the local baker ends up dead, it's nothing to snort about. Readers love Molly MacRae's over-the-top take on small town life, her realistic action figures and all of things she puts into making each of her mysteries packed with adventure. Her knack for writing believable characters in crazy situations is on full display in this book and readers won't be able to put it down.
What I liked:
One of my favorite parts of this series, is the small town setting. Blue Plum is a town that readers would want to visit in there real lives as well as their reading lives. It's full of interesting characters and just has a flavor all it's own. I think MacRae did a great job of meshing together all of the wonderful things about an authentic small town with an exaggerated sense of fancy and what could happen. This is a series that takes a lot of imagination to write and I think MacRae has it in spades.
Kath is once again a tried and true amateur sleuth. She sticks her nose in everybody's business, but she's so sweet about it, they hardly notice. Along with her group of knitting friends, Argyle the cat and Geneva the ghost, she sets about solving each mystery as it comes with a determination that is fun to read about. She has some issues in her personal life, like her situation with Clod and the fact that she has feelings for Joe. But she balances her career as owner of the Weaver's Cat, her personal life, and sleuthing with ease. For me, there just wouldn't be enough hours in the day.
