Book excerpt: Kate Meyr finds herself helping an enigmatic pastor deal with his fawning female congregation and a missing quilt in the final East Perry County mystery. For generations, ladies have gathered at churches to quilt. In Church Ladies’ Quilts, the fifth and final novel in the East Perry County series, Kate Meyr’s love for quilts convinces her to join the quilters at Concordia Lutheran Church in Borna. The ritual of their practices amuses Kate as she listens to their diverse personalities. It doesn’t take long, after Kate joins them, for a mystery of a missing quilt to surface. The Pastor, who is dearly admired by the ladies, tries to keep the story quiet for the church’s reputation.
