Spinning in Her Grave: A Haunted Yarn Shop Mystery Description
Kath Rutledge is settling in as the owner of the Weaver’s Cat, a fiber and fabric shop in Blue Plum, Tennessee. But nothing, not even the ghost haunting her shop, prepares her for the mystery that will leave the whole town spinning.... It’s time for Blue Plum’s annual historical festival, and everyone—including Kath and her spunky fiber and needlework group, TGIF—is getting in on the action. Expert spinners are being gathered, and a businessman has approached Kath about using the second-floor windows of her store for part of a reenactment. But the reenactment ends in real-life bloodshed when local baker Reva Louise Snapp is shot—with a bullet from a modern-day gun.
Kath has her theories about who wanted to end Reva Louise’s life. But there’s also talk of a sniper stalking Blue Plum, and Kath’s shop is suspected to be the murderer’s hideout. Now Kath, her TGIF pals, and the gloomy ghost, Geneva, must unravel the mystery quickly, or someone else might be left hanging by a thread....

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.
