The Homeplace Ghost

Geneva is back and is as haunting as ever in Molly MacRae's Plagued by Quilt. Because only Kath Rutledge can see her, trying to help Geneva find out who she was is very difficult. When two skeletons are found at the Holston Homeplace Living History Farm garbage dump, Kath thinks they might be the people Geneva believes she saw murdered decades ago.

Geneva has been haunting Kath's yarn shop since Kath arrived to take over the place in Blue Plum, Tennessee. Although Kath's grandmother Ivy is dead, Kath has found her secret dairies which contain her herbal remedies. Many people in Blue Plum thought Ivy was crazy, but there was more to her than meets the eye. 

When one of the historians is found brutally murdered, Kath and friends try to discover who the murderer is and how it is connected to the skeletons.

As for the townspeople, the Spivey twins are their usual negative force, but they surprise Kath with their patience teaching quilting to high school students at the Homeplace. Dangling a tantalizing quilt in front of Kath, they secure their place in the classroom. Kath is determined to spend time with the quilt, but the murder and her ghost are consuming her time.

I have enjoyed this series and Geneva is a very hip ghost. She has spend many years watching television so she says things that someone who had lived in the late 1890s would never day. The books are fun and entertaining.

The first book in the series is Last Wool and Testament.
