— Judy, 10/12/2013" I think I may have over-dosed on this series. There were too many coincidences & no really possible police stuff. "
— Willa, 10/4/2013" I'd read several of her mysteries but didn't remember the Christian slant. Surprising that nearly all of the characters were widowed. "
— Sara, 5/31/2013" I have now chewed through the entire 14-book series and I'm so sad that I'm done. San Celina is a nice place to "live" vicariously for a while, and the continuing development of the characters has been exactly what I'm in the mood for! "

— Kitty, 10/22/2012" A little contrived. Not very interesting characters. I don't think I'll bother with the rest of the series. "
— Jan, 9/26/2012" Such a good series, this is a good addition. "
— Vickie, 7/22/2012" I love her writing, and the quilt mystery series. There is lots of humor that makes for a light read. "
— Nicole, 5/16/2012" This was definitely one of my 2 favorites of this series along with Mariners Compass. It had a very unique twist to it. I'm going to be disappointed when I have read all of the books in the series. "
— Sheryl, 1/19/2012" This book was good enough to recommend to family, and good enough to read another in the series, but I probably won't remember it 6 months from now. "
— Lisa, 10/16/2011" A friend recommended this author as light mystery, easy reading. I found it to be uncomfortable reading - hokey plot line, flat characters, poor writing (grammar, punctuation, word usage mistakes throughout). Not my cup of tea. Sorry, friend. "
— Judith, 5/6/2011" Probably my favorite of the Benni Harper series - very thought provoking premise. Just as good the second read through. It really makes you think, whose life you might touch and never know it. "
— Becky, 1/13/2011" Good example of a series that started well and went in the dumper. I gave up after this one, haven't kept up with them, and won't bother with however any more she convinces someone to publish. "
