TAILOR-MADE TERROR is book number 2 in the “A Carom Seed Cozy” 4 book series by Sheri Richey. This series was inspired by the Spicetown book series of which there are nine, Do I have time in 2026 to catch up?
Tailor-Made Terror is a gentle mystery, meaning there is no profanity, naked people, violence, blood or gore. I was originally attracted to the series because I sew and sewing terms are in the title of each book in the series. I enjoyed the first book and I enjoyed this one; I recommend your investing in the series.
So, what is the book about? Peggy, the main character gets caught up in a events in her community when she accepted a job doing alterations; Peggy is the owner of Carom Seed Craft Corner. The intrigue begins, like any great mystery when the characters are introduced though they all have a roll to play not all are who you think they are, unless you are one of those people who like to talk through the movie!
The dilemma: Should the town modernize? The town has an opportunity to bring jobs, and people, to a not quite sleepy town. Is this a good thing? But at what cost? It seems that Editor Ed Poindexter of the local newspaper, the Spicetown Star, had quite a bit of information that not everyone knew and some people did not want them to know. How does Peggy, the fabric store get in the middle of town improvements?
Tailor-Made Terror is a What is going on kind of mystery that draws the reader to become part of the town, you know learning all the gosspip! Which character will become your friend and who is going to get the dog?
By the end of the story you will see yourself sitting at the Caraway Cafe with everyone else from the community discussing the events of the day. Some of the group will say “I’m not surprised” and others will be thankful Chief Conrad caught “that person". And then you will grab a cup of coffee and begin reading book 3- A FITTING END.
You will see me sitting in a corner seat wondering if Peggy and Conrad are ever going to get married!
