I was contacted a few weeks ago asking if I would be willing to do a book review. I thought, “Hey, why not? I like free books.” Soon after that, The Devil’s Puzzle by Clare O'Donohue arrived. In fact, two copies arrived so I am happy to be able to offer a give away! It’s the first one I’ve ever done. I’ll just randomly picking two people that reply to this post to get the book (although one person will be a slightly used copy).

As a mystery, I'm not going to write too much about the story because I don't want to give the ending away. I was happy though that I wasn’t able to figure out “who-done-it” before the book was done. It was fun to have a quilting theme run through the book, but it wouldn’t detract from the book if you aren’t a quilter. I was a little sad that there wasn't a picture of the quilt block in the book; it seemed like since it was the name of the book it should have been there.
Overall I’d recommend the book, if you’re looking for something light and easy to read. It wasn’t a book that I couldn’t put down, but it was still interesting.
Disclaimer: I don’t have a cool official disclaimer like Denise, but I was under no obligation to write a blog post, review the book in a certain manner, or give away the book. I received no money for doing the review.

I would love to read this book. I've read the Benni Harper series that Earlene Fowler writes and enjoy the quilt theme (even though I don't quilt or even sew on buttons).

Sounds interesting. So I am throwing my hat in the ring (to get the book, definitely not to run for president). :)
Hanneke and Annette win! Congrats! I'll be sending out the books...shortly. -ish.
Thanks Amanda! You don't have to send the book to me -- you can wait and give it to Elizabeth the next time you see her.
