When a community center opens in town, many embrace it as a space where locals of all ages can gather and create. Others view it as a waste of taxpayer dollars. The director, Darleen Busby-Platt, is no less controversial. Intense and showy, Darleen has huge plans for her new role. But Lucy believes the woman isn't exactly as warm hearted--or qualified--as she seems. That hunch deepens when Darleen and a young employee vanish... and dismembered remains appear!

Patchwork Quilt Murder by Leslie Meier has Lucy Stone covering the opening of the new and controversial community center. We get to see how Lucy, Bill, and their family are doing. Lucy and Bill are now empty nesters. A tragedy does strike the Stone household that will touch a chord with many people. The whodunit has Lucy on the trail of chop happy killer. The mystery does not begin until we are a third of a way through the book. The body is not identified until a little past the halfway point. Lucy asks some questions, but more of her time is devoted to another puzzle. Ted and his wife are acting oddly. Lucy has a feeling it has to do with their son who has returned to town and happens to be working at the new community center. In Patchwork Quilt Murder, the author gets on her soapbox about climate control and mental health as well as the services that should be available to those suffering from mental health disorders. These issues overshadowed the rest of the story. While both issues are important and need addressing, I do not feel a cozy mystery is the right venue. While Patchwork Quilt Murder is the thirtieth A Lucy Stone Mystery, it can be read as a standalone. I have been reading the series since the beginning and I admit that I liked the earlier books better than the last half a dozen or so. I enjoyed the descriptions of the Civil War era quilts. It was interesting learning the history behind them. Patchwork Quilt Murder is the latest A Lucy Stone Mystery with community center coverage, an inflated income, parts popping up, distressing news, rampant rumors, upset parents, and an antique quilt.
