This book nearly bored me to death! It sounded so good, so I kept plugging away, waiting for the "good part" to happen. It never did. The ending was anti-climactic and the characters were dull. It did help me fall asleep at night, so it wasn't entirely useless.

Our graduate student heroine, Rachel, has been 'possessed' by a nineteenth century witch. Where did she come from...well, all the strange goings on came after someone dropped off those old quilts at the clothing shop where Rachel works...something sinister begins to unfold.

The idea of this book is very clever and appeals to those of us that like paranorml mystery or romance as well as sewing. It is a fun read and I learned a lot about quilting and witchcraft at the same time!

This was a good book to read. I couldn't put it down. A nice twist from the usual mystery/witchy novel. Great weekend read, ending slightly anti-clamatic (spelling?) but plausable. Worth the read.

Pretty lackluster and disappointing offering from Barbara Michaels, and definitely lacking in the witty character banter and supernatural elements that she's so well known for.

I know I should muster up a better review then this one, but frankly I don't have the interest to do so, and this book isn't interesting enough IMO to deserve it. I do love Barbara Michaels books - just not this one :(

A tale about Civil War quilts-three stolen or discarded? And are they influencing the present? Interesting premise but a little to much on the supernatural side for me.
