Can a group of "mature" women actually solve a murder---just by discussing it over the quilt frame?
The members of the St. Rose Quilting Bee ask themselves this very question when the lead actor in a traveling production of Phantom of the Opera is found dead in the Scottsdale desert.
Maggie Browne knew Jonathan Hunter when he was a child and he played with her boys on their ranch. The murder hits too close to home for her, and she decides to do some sleuthing of her own when the police fail to come up with anything.
She and fellow quilter Victoria volunteer at the theater as ushers to find out more information about the cast and to deduce possible suspects. But making character analyses of skilled actors is no easy task--there's the understudy, the distraught girlfriend, the overbearing mother--and they must consider each one.
Will they discover the murderer before he or she kills again?
