Going Through the Notions

By Cate Price

Book Overview

A retired schoolteacher--and yes, daughter of an F. Scott Fitzgerald fan--Daisy Buchanan has finally found her calling in the quaint village of Millbury, Pennsylvania. While her husband endlessly renovates their old house, Daisy happily presides over Sometimes a Great Notion, a quirky shop that sells sewing bits and bobs, antiques, and jewelry. Daisy has her eye on an antique dollhouse and a classic Singer Featherweight at the local auction--until her friend and mentor, auctioneer Angus Backstead, is led away in handcuffs. It appears he bashed in the head of a drinking buddy who stole a set of fancy fountain pens. Daisy's sure the sprightly old-timer couldn't have done it. But if Daisy can't stitch together the bidder truth--and soon--Angus will be going once, going twice... gone forever. Includes creative tips for vintage notions

Customer Reviews

All the elements of a true cozy mystery!

Really enjoyed the setting, plot and all the characters. It had everything I liked: a retired school teacher who is happily married with a fixer-upper husband, they love fine foods, antiques, and historic elements of the area as well. Perfect arm chair read when it's cold out and you are snuggled inside a quilt Really enjoyed the entire series. I wish there were more.
