[Review Buku] Knot in My Backyard oleh Mary Marks

Knot in My Backyard (Quilting Mystery #2)
penulis Mary Marks
352 halaman, New Adult (NA)/ Misteri

A diamond brocade pattern is more quilter Martha Rose's style than a baseball diamond - especially when it comes to the new eyesore of a stadium ruining her lovely San Fernando Valley neighborhood. Martha doesn't know a bunt from a bundt cake, but when she stumbles upon the battered body of baseball coach Dax Martin, she doesn't need a scorecard to know it's foul play. LAPD homicide detective Arlo Beavers is convinced one of her neighbors is responsible. But Martha and her fellow quilters Lucy and Birdie soon discover a whole field of suspects who might have wanted to take the coach out of the game permanently.

Martha Rose meninggalkan kesan yang mendalam bagi saya di novel pertama seri ini, Forget Me Knot. Sebenarnya saya tidak berencana untuk melanjutkan seri ini terlebih dahulu, mungkin tahun depan atau kapan, tapi godaan terlalu kuat hehehe, apalagi setelah tahu “konflik” apa yang dialami Martha Rose di sini. Akhirnya, novel ini habis dalam waktu semalam deh *no shame*.

Welcome to San Fernando Valley, California, where Martha Rose and her coterie of quilters are enjoying life on the good side of retirement—until murder pulls a stitch out of their plans…
Martha and her besties Lucy and Birdie are set to expand their Quilty Tuesdays by inviting newcomer Claire Terry into their group. Though at forty Claire’s a tad younger than their average age, her crafty reputation could perk up their patchwork proceedings, especially as they prepare for the fancy quilt show coming to town. But when they arrive at Claire’s home and find her dead inside the front door, and her exquisite, prize-winning quilts soon missing, Martha is not one to leave a mystery unraveled. Especially if she wants to stop a killer from establishing a deadly pattern

Seperti yang sudah dibahas di review Death Among the Doilies, saya akan lebih sering membaca dan mereview novel semi-misteri ke depannya, dalam rangka mengurangi timbunan yang beberapa waktu lalu saya dapatkan. Surprisingly, saya sangat menyukai plot cerita dari novel-novel sejenis ini. Desain sampul yang cantik dan cerita yang unik juga memberikan kesan fresh dan membuat saya nggak sabar buat membaca setiap seri yang ada!
