Sunshine and Shadow

Spirited ex-cowgirl, quilter, and folk-art expert Benni Harper is back, investigating the connection between her favorite author, the murder of a family friend, and a crazy quilt. And when she starts receiving strange phone calls and anonymous letters telling her she'll be the next victim, her interest in the case becomes even more urgent."Fowler [has] charm as a storyteller."  —Washington Post

"[An] appealing picture of ranch life and small-town affairs, of barbecues and fiestas, of jocular locals and warm family and friends."  —Publishers Weekly
