Took a little to get into. Felt that the bead theme was a little weak, as the main character had little to do with beads. Still, it was a nice quick cozy read.

I really enjoyed this book. I thought the bead camp was a very different setting. I was saddened to learn of the author's passing, as I would have liked to have read more from her.

This author, Barbara Burnett Smith passed away on February 19, 2005.

Pretty good book

Very enjoyable book. Good character development!

Kitzi Camden mystery with bead craft as the theme. Bead pattern included.

This is a fun read! Quick and easy.

This was just a fun quick read. It made me want to be a beader for sure. It introduces Kitzi Camden who joins her friend Beth at Camp Green Clover for some peaceful crafting only to find themselves in the middle of a murder investigation. Unfortunately do to the untimely death of Barbara Burnett Smith there will only be one more Kitzi book which saddens me greatly

First is a series, this is a quick and easy read that many Texas women may enjoy because of the numerous references to real Texans. Since I love "crafty" heroines, I had hoped to find more beading tips. I will admit that I was stumped right to the end as to "whodunit" but did not enjoy this enough to keep it.

A good mystery about a group of women who go away for a beading weekend retreat
