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

When I started reading this book, it caught me off guard thinking how realistic it was. I know many people that have been sucked in by MLM pyramid schemes and I cannot count the number of times I have been asked to host parties by acquaintances on social media. The author further delves into these types of businesses and very succinctly describes the people involved. The book gives a great sense of everyday life with the suspense of a murder mystery. It feels like it could be the story of people you know.

The thing that I think is most important about this book is that the author includes marginalized people and very astutely presents flawed characters. No one character is all bad or all good – as Elizabeth points out many times. There is a significant portion of the book dedicated to bullying at all levels/ages and there are characters who call out the bullies regardless of the tense situations doing so can lead to.

There is great messaging wrapped up in the package of solving a mystery, and I did not foresee the resolution! Good story, better characters!!
