Could you send me your review of it when you've finished reading it? Thanks.

I ordered mine today from B & N online, and they are mailing it out
tomorrow. Just couldn't wait until they got it in at our store.

I got my copy from Boders on New Years Day and just finished it!!! I loved it
but now am sad cause I read it so fast. Couldn't put it down! Thank you
Mary/Monica!!!!!!

Glad you liked it. Was there too much about art? What do you think of the
cutwork pattern in the back?

Oh, also, if anyone can come up with a cute sig line for me when autographing,
I'd appreciate it. Usual offer: a free copy of Cutwork, appropriately
autographed.

The story is about a wood carver whose throat is cut during the second day of
an outdoor art fair, called Art on the Lake, in Excelsior. Suspects include
his college-age son (who will have to drop out of Northwestern unless the old
man dies so they can cash in his large life-insurance policy), his wife (also
anxious over money), a juvenile delinquent who may have made the move from
theft to murder, and a fellow artist who paid a sum of money to be made
beneficiary of the insurance policy.

That's "a cut sig line".......

Do you use any, ahem, cutting remarks in the book?

You're a cut above!

Cut your losses, not your husband's throat! (Or does that give away which
butler did it?)

Hope you do cutwork, not scutwork, in your free time.

Measure twice, cut once.

The Coast Guard has many cutters, but this book only has one.

Chicken cut-ciatore for dinner?

Dear Karen, Here's hoping that when you cut your teeth as a novelist, it's with
as much success as I've enjoyed.....

Dear Fred, you're a real cut-up!

I'd be content with "Happy stitching!" and your name.

Or lift that other regular poster's significant and just use "Love and
stitches".

Don't give away anything in significant! I want no spoilers.

still very much looking forward to reading it.

Hope I keep you in stitches and on pins and needles!

There that catches the gentle humor and the suspense.
