Stitch by Stitch by Marie-Therese Hernon – Review by Jennifer Gordon

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

I thoroughly enjoyed this engaging small town mystery which kept me entertained from start to finish. The storyline has a great mix of murder mystery, life in suburbia, drama and suspense, and a bit of romance, all of which had me hooked. Elizabeth Candew is newly divorced, has a mountain of bills, a dwindling bank balance, and is arguing with her ex husband over him paying, or rather not paying, child support. Elizabeth believes her luck is changing when she meets the glamorous and seemingly reputable Louisa Davenport. When Louisa tells her about a business opportunity, Elizabeth thinks her financial problems are over, and so uses her credit card to invest in the business. However, when she arrives for a training session with Louisa, she discovers that she has been murdered, and Elizabeth can’t get a refund.
Making things even more stressful for Elizabeth, is the fact that the detective assigned to the murder case is an old high school boyfriend, who broke her heart and then left town. Elizabeth also has her own ideas as to who murdered Louisa. This was a great read, the storyline and plot twists kept me guessing and I found it hard to put this book down. I loved Elizabeth as the main character, who was likeable and relatable and brought the story together. The setting was brought to life through the descriptive narrative and I really felt immersed in the story. I loved the use of humour throughout the novel, giving it a light touch. I found this to be a real page turner, and one which I definitely recommend reading.
