Stitch by Stitch by Marie-Thérèse Hernon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I feel this book is more of a 3.5 for me and I’m about to tell you why. Well I was really into Stitch by Stitch when I started reading it. Unfortunately for me midway through it really slowed down and I started to lose interest. It didn’t stop me from finishing it, and I’m glad I did. Besides that I really liked the premise for the story. Pyramid scheme murders is how I’m dubbing it. One never knows what type of person they signed up to a business until they take their deposit and don’t deliver the goods. In this case the goods were delivered but their mentors dropped them high and dry with no assistance. Those types of job opportunities are the ones that make things very leery when looking for a job. Making this book very relevant, realistic, and at least the anger of this story relatable.
Elizabeth, a recently divorced mother of two is struggling. She needs a job, and after attending this “trunk show” for Lady Lily Wear she’s interested. She believes she can truly do this job and be as successful as her mentor. What she doesn’t realize is it’s pretty much a scam, more about the people you sign up vs the product. Then her mentor turns up dead. Trying to reach out to the next person she reports to with no response. Come to find out she’s dead too! Now it’s time for her own investigation. Unfortunately for her she has to play nice with the man who broke her heart in high school. Ex-boyfriend Red Garcia is not only back in town but is the lead detective on the case.
Does she succeed?
Does she help ex-boyfriend/cop in solving these murders?
Is there still something between Red and Elizabeth?
In asking those questions ask yourself this, do you yourself like a interesting murder/mystery? If the answer is yes, you should jump in now! Just be mindful if you feel like it slows down, just stick with it and push through. You won’t be disappointed.
