Book Overview
Life is hectic enough for suburban single mom Jane Jeffrey this Christmas season--what with her having to survive cutthroat church bazaar politics and finish knitting the afghan from Hell at the same time. The last thing the harried homemaker needs is an unwelcome visit from old acquaintance Phyllis Wagner and her ill-mannered brat of a teenage son. And the Wagner picture becomes even more complicated when a dead body is woven into the design. Solving a murder, however, is a lot more interesting than knitting, so Jane's determined to sew the whole thing up. But with a plethora of suspects and the appearance of a second corpse, this deadly tapestry is getting quite complex indeed. And Jane has to be very careful not to get strangled herself by the twisted threads shes attempting to unravel.

Christmas is the Season in this Warm Cozy Mystery
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
A warm home with 3 kids, pets, and Christmas in the air, Jane Jeffry makes a cozy home for her family. There are also warm friendships, a church bazaar, a school band concert . . . All the things that make for a cozy family life and a cozy book. While Jane and her friends are putting together the church bazaar, the atmosphere gets even cozier. Jane's long-ago friend comes to visit for the holidays and helps with the bazaar. Murders happen, and Jane is determined to find out who and why. She and Officer VanDyne are cooperative and friendly with each other. Once the mystery starts to unfold, you cannot put the book down. The interesting twist at the end will keep you reading until you are finished. This is a wonderful, satisfying book. The atmosphere is superb and the mystery is clever. The whole book is entertaining. I am so glad I read it.
Curl up with Jane Jeffry

The second mystery in Jill Churchill's series is equal to the first--fun, easy to read, and with just enough "hmmmm" to keep the reader guessing til the end. Churchill's dry sense of humor and good writing make for a relaxing and enjoyable mystery without the gore and violence.
This is the first book from this author I have read.

I loved this book!! It was a fun read and went fast with a twist at the end. It held my interest and I enjoyed it alot. I loved the relationship with Shelley and Jane. I have a friend like that, and it would be a riot to try to solve mysteries together!!
A fun read

This was my second Jane Jeffrey mystery. Unfortunately I am reading them out of order, but they are great reads just the same! Jane is a wonderful character to follow and this story was very interesting and entertaining. I am going out to buy the whole series!
Jane Jeffry is the best fictional character ever created.

Jill Churchill really knows her stuff! All of the characters, especially Jane Jeffry, are so true to life I expect to bump into them at the grocery store or the PTA meeting. And the murder mystery is fascinating. I didn't know "who did it" until I read the ending for myself. Thanks!!!
