Praise for the Benni Harper mysteries:

"Captivating...a notable series."-- Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Fowler writes beautifully about the picturesque Central Coast, ranching and local cuisine, and her sympathetic, witty characters enlighten readers about California history and society."-- Booklist

"Breezy, humorous dialogue of the first order....Quilt patterns provide a real and metaphorical background."-- Chicago Sun-Times

"Her plots can be as outrageous as Ellery Queen's, her turf is Ross Macdonald's, and her tone is heir to Grafton and Paretsky."-- Nashville Scene

"The patchwork quilt provides the guiding metaphor for Earlene Fowler's Benni Harper series and in her latest, Seven Sisters, it becomes the perfect emblem for a universal sisterhood where women's hearts are torn and tested, and unite to create a resonant story of complex patterns and hard-earned grace."-- Jo-Ann Mapson, author of The Wilder Sisters

"Brilliantly crafted romantic suspense."-- The Mystery Zone
