Definitely not a fan. The overly simplified depictions of police overreach, organized crime, and murder (and, really, everything in this book) were just not fun or good. It might be good for a quick read if you want a basic murder tangentially connected to quilting but I was absolutely not impressed. I found myself genuinely rolling my eyes at the mc multiple times (and not in the fun way) - wouldn't recommend to a single person 👍
