Fans of this series will enjoy this Christmas time story, and even though this e-story follows four books in the series, it's a nice introduction for newcomers.  Enough explanation is presented in terms of relationships between characters and their significance to the storyline that first-time readers should be comfortable.Amid helping the elementary school students make quilts to be autioned off at the library Christmas party, working in her grandmother's quilt shop, and finishing a quilt of her own, Nell Fitzgerald turns her sleuthing/snooping skills to solving the mystery of who set Charlie Lofton's house on fire.  (The previous books are murder mysteries.)Most of the characters (new and regulars) are likeable, the setting is cozy, and Clare O'Donahue is a decent writer.  Without being a spoiler, pay close attention to the beginning of the story because O'Donahue brings it full circle in conclusion.  I read this story close to Christmas and it was a just-right length for taking a break from my own holiday activities
