Knot in my backyard [eBook - NC Digital Library] : Quilting Mystery Series, Book 2

A baseball coach is felled by foul play, and it's up to a clever quilter to catch the killer in this "pleasurable and satisfying" mystery ( Library Journal ). Baseball may be America's official favorite pastime, but for Martha Rose and her friends, quilting is far more fun...and a lot less dangerous. A diamond brocade pattern is more quilter Martha Rose's style than a baseball diamond#8212;especially when it comes to the new eyesore of a stadium ruining her lovely San Fernando Valley neighborhood. Martha doesn't know a bunt from a bundt cake, but when she stumbles upon the battered body of baseball coach Dax Martin, she doesn't need a scorecard to know it's foul play. LAPD homicide detective Arlo Beavers is convinced one of her neighbors is responsible. But Martha and her fellow quilters Lucy and Birdie soon discover a whole field of suspects who might have wanted to take the coach out of the game permanently... "What's knot to love?
