Quilts, Small Towns… and Murder?

Author Clare O’Donohue will read from, and sign copies of, her new novel "The Double Cross: A Someday Quilts Mystery" on Thursday, Nov. 11 at 7p.m. at the Colgate Bookstore, 3 Utica Street. The event is free and open to the public.

The Double Cross is the third book in the Someday Quilts series, which is filled with close-knit friendships and a charming love story. Readers have embraced the adventures of spirited amateur sleuth Nell Fitzgerald who - after a broken engagement - is rebuilding her life in the small town of Archer’s Rest, New York. In The Double Cross, Nell has a revived sense of self with her new-found passion for detective work and several local murder cases under her belt.  However, playing Nancy Drew is causing a strain on her romance with Police Chief Jesse Dewalt, who’d prefer she simply stick to quilting.  While their relationship is on hiatus, Nell and the Someday Quilts ladies set out for a week-long quilting retreat that soon turns deadly.

Clare O’Donohue is a freelance television writer and producer.  She has worked worldwide on a variety of shows for Food Network, the History Channel, and truTV, among others.  An avid quilter, she was also a producer for HGTV’s Simply Quilts with Alex Anderson, and is still trying to use up the fabric she was given while working there.  O’Donohue lives in Chicago, Illinois.
