Book Description:
Life is hectic enough for suburban single mom Jane Jeffrey this Christmas season--what with her having to survive cutthroat church bazaar politics and finish knitting the "Afghan from Hell" at the same time. The last thing the harried homemaker needs is an unwelcome visit from old acquaintance Phyllis Wagner and her ill-mannered brat of a teenage son. And the Wagner picture becomes even more complicated when a dead body is woven into the design.



Solving a murder, however, is a lot more interesting than knitting, so Jane's determined to sew the whole thing up. But with a plethora of suspects and the appearance of a second corpse, this deadly tapestry is getting quite complex indeed. And Jane has to be very careful not to get strangled herself by the twisted threads she's attempting to unravel.

Even though it took almost 100 pages before the murder took place, I still enjoyed this book. I'm looking forward to reading more in the series.

This was the first of the series I've read. And I liked it enough that I'm ordering many others from the series.

The heroine is a great combination of church-goer and cusser. The women are middle-aged and the friend Suzie is over-sized, over-mouthy, and beautiful. A refreshing change from svelt 20-something heroines!

Farewell to Yarns is Jill Churchill's second Jane Jeffry's mystery. This one takes place at Christmas. An old friend comes to visit. During the visit two people end up died, Jane's son has a band concert, and her church has a bazaar. It is just another few days in the exciting life of Jane Jeffry.

I enjoyed this book because it was a good read even though it was a quick one.

Nice cozy mystery but I wish the folks who write the blurb on the cover would learn the difference between knitting and crocheting.

Suburban single mom Jane Jeffry must manage the hectic Christmas season and host an old acquaintance and her bratty teenage son. Of course, there's also a murder to complicate things.

This whole series makes me laugh. A bit improbable, but the situations the main charachter runs into with her kids complicating her life are real enough. Good, fun read.
