The Barnes & Noble Review
Good things come in threes, so here's a tantalizing trio for you. Broken Dishes is the name of a popular patchwork pattern, dating back to the 1790s. It's the nickname the central California locals give the Broken DIS Ranch that's the setting of this book. And it's also the title of the 11th Benni Harper mystery by Agatha Award–winning author Earlene Fowler.
In this outing, Benni is helping out her friends Shawna and Johnny at their dude ranch, as they entertain a group of guests gathered for a Western-style quilting extravaganza. Everyone knows that this event could make or break the fledgling business. And with rumors abuzz that a famous travel writer is among the visitors, the stress level for Benni and her friends has more peaks than the nearby Diablo Mountains. Shawna and Johnny's dreams for the future seem fated to shatter when a dog discovers a human bone on their ranch. Things go from bad to worse as more disturbing discoveries pile up, including a shallow grave, a murdered man, and a midnight prowler who visits the hidden burial place…not to mention unsettling cases of theft and arson. With the police pursuing a seriously unproductive traditional investigation, it's up to Benni to keep everything from crashing down. She must find the truth -- before a man is accused of a crime he didn't commit and a woman loses her only chance to right an old wrong. Sue Stone
