Summary: This series gets better and better
Review: Arminda Hobbs has returned to her hometown of Angel Heights after the sudden death of her husband. She needs the comfort of her family. Unfortunately, she finds the body of her cousin Otto in the Ladies Room of Holley House, formerly the Minerva Academy. She also finds a curious pin. The design is reflected in an Alma Mater sampler done by her great grandmother, and a mysterious quilt passed along from member to member of a group of friends. How does this all tie into Otto's murder? Fortunately, she has her family and a guardian angel to help her.The Augusta Goodnight series is fast becoming one of my favorites. The temporary guardian(her real job is tending heavenly strawberry fields) once again steps in to solve another mystery, in this case, she is tying up loose ends from a previous job. I found it very hard to put this one down and can't wait until the next one.

Summary: Series Getting Better and Better
Review: I enjoy this series because, due to the fact that the main character, angel Augusta Goodnight, is the only recurring character in the series, each book is different from the previous one. I enjoy many of the more popular mystery series going today, but find it sometimes hard to believe as the series gets older that the main character in the books would run across so many murders unless s/he is an actual detective or policeman.
In this entry, Augusta is helping a young widow recover from the loss of her husband. The widow, Minda, has returned to her small hometown, hoping that the familiarity of it will help ease her pain. Unfortunately, not too long after she arrives, she finds her cousin, Otto, dead in the women's restroom of the local museum.
The mystery involves events from nearly a century before, giving some added period pieces to the mystery. There are many many characters in the book, making it sometimes confusing. I had to refer to the list of characters in the front of the book a few times until I had all the names straight. That aside, it was a quick read and very enjoyable. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

Summary: a delightful cozy mystery
Review: These Augusta Goodnight mysteries are wonderful with a cup of tea. This third installment of this clever and unique series, introduces the reader to Arminda who is recently widowed and visiting with her grandmother. Her cousin, Otto, is murdered and she finds the body! The story weaves around an antique quilt and family members from the past and present interlock to solve this mystery. I'm looking forward to Mignon's next Augusta Goodnight read.
