While the Oliver Civic Symphony is rehearsing an all-American concert in the old Sagamore for the town's prestigious quilt show, Joan, now the orchestra's manager, helps Eddie, the first trumpeter, find a room from which to sound distant enough for Charles Ives' The Unanswered Question. The sound is perfect, until Eddie trips over the body of an orchestra board member buried in one of her own family's quilts.
"If you like quilts, music and low-key mystery, this one will please." DEADLY PLEASURES
"Buried in Quilts is a serviceable, old-fashioned quilt of a book -- not fancy or complicated, but colorful, well-made, cozy, and good to curl up with on a cold night." OHIOANA QUARTERLY
"Frommer creates a persuasive Midwest ambience in this quiet book with its mix of nostalgia and murder. Her story, slow to start, is ultimately absorbing. Most striking is her community of what the English novelist Barbara Pym would call 'excellent women,' the female population devoted to good works, town culture, and volunteer activities. The contribution of such women is marked in this novel about small-town life, big-time emotions, and the practical poetry of quilts." WILSON LIBRARY BULLETIN
"Frommer's second mystery (after Murder in C Major) offers an entertaining family-centered murder investigation while examining the importance of quilts as a means of understanding women's history." PUBLISHERS' WEEKLY
"I am looking forward to Ms. Frommer's next book." MYSTERY NEWS
