Начало книги

I didn’t know filet crochet existed until Sue Meyer of the Lace Museum in Sunnyvale, California, pointed out a sample of it on the wall. It opened my eyes to all kinds of possibilities.

Thanks to Paula Tesler for the Thursday crochet and knit group and all the crochet advice. Thanks to Roberta Martia for her enthusiasm and friendship, and for trying out the crochet patterns.

Appellate Defender and friend Judy Libby always comes through with answers, even if I keep asking the same question over and over just to make sure.

I want to thank everyone at Berkley Prime Crime for all their efforts and particularly my editor, Sandy Harding, who continues to be great to work with.

I will always be grateful to my agent, Jessica Faust. The crochet mysteries wouldn’t have happened without her.

Thanks to Spike Tretsky for being the inspiration for Mason’s dog.

And a special thank-you to Burl and Max for not thinking I’m nuts when I talk about my characters like they’re real people and for always being available any time of the day or night to taste test recipes.
