The old Kendall House in New Kassell is haunted. At least the current owner thinks that it is and wants to sell it as soon as possible. Torie O’Shea who already owns Gaheimer House decides that she will buy the Kendall House and set up a museum for quilts. Glory Kendall was famous for her quilts and evidently, many of the quilts remain in the residence.

When Torie finds out that all three of the Kendall children committed suicide she decided to investigate. Colin, the ex-sheriff and Torie’s father-in-law, wants to get into the act. Colin was in the habit of trying to keep Torie from her investigations but now that he is mayor, he is very bored and wants to be involved.

Torie does find out what happened in the Kendall home many years ago and the answer shocks everyone.

Torie and all of her friends in New Kassell make for an interesting story. There is plenty of humor involved as well as some history of quilts. This latest book where Torie manages to solve a cold, cold case is one of the best so far.
