Summary: REALLY GOOD! another winner from earlene fowler.
Comment: benni harper faces her toughest, most personal mystery to date in mariner's compass, a compelling tale of family history, roots and love. she learns that she's inherited a house from a man she's never met and it soon becomes apparent that although she didn't know him, he certainly knew her. one condition of her inheritance is that she spend two weeks alone in the house jacob chandler willed to her, and the two weeks gives her time to delve into his motives and his murky personality. Spiritual without being preachy, earlene fowler's characters come alive and grow in the pages of her novels with a rare combination of depth and impassioned motivation. the benni harper series is one of the best, and mariner's compass may be the best of the series.

Summary: Quilts, Family and a Mysterious Admirer
Comment: This is the sixth book in the Earlene Fowler quilting mysteries.
Benni Harper, the main character is notified that she has become an heiress. The problem stems from the fact that she doesn't know Jacob Chandler who's made her his beneficiary. Mr. Chandler put a strange stipulation in his will. Benni is required to live at his home for two weeks and no one else can stay with her. Her husband Gabe is not thrilled about the whole situation and wants her to just let the government take over the estate. However, Benni's imagination is challenged and she decides to follow the wishes of the deceased and pursue her inheritance.
This book is a real page-turner. Benni is constantly picking up little pieces of information that Jacob Chandler left and she's made to look at her life and dwell on the identity of the mysterious man. Another good story by this author!

Summary: This is fine storytelling
Comment: While quilting is not as integral to the story as the Elm Creeks series, the storytelling is superb. Fast-paced, witty and with enough chutzpah and machismo to keep Benni & Gabe from getting staid; and keep me grinning. Tying the title quilt block to the plot of the book is clever and entertaining.
I found this book darker than the other Benni Harper mysteries as Benni confronts suspicions of her parentage thanks to her previously unknown uncle, the late Jacob Chandler. She has to deal with a wealth of suspicious characters as she tries to survive the terms of Jacob's will. Benni and Gabe seem to be growing together as a couple and their wildly differing viewpoints are finally rubbing off on each other. Dove, as usual, is a stitch; leading the "San Celina Seven" to rescue the Historical Society museum from the money-grubbing, development minded mayor. Cousin Emory and temporary neighbor Rich Trujillo add a healthy dollop of Southern and Mexican spice to the plot. Eccentric potter Azanna Nybak, best friend Eliva, and even Scout the dog add body to this story. A fun read that left me wanting more.
