"I like these stories. They truly are cozies. The mystery is OK, keeps you involved. but it's the people and the settings that pull you in. I find myself really liking these people and wish I knew them. I rated it a 4 because it's not "War and Peace". But it is a relaxing, interesting summer read. I recommend it. It's a break from work, children and household chores which will give your spirit a break."

Sea Bound A Quilting Cozy Carol Dean Jones Books Reviews
- This is the third book in a quilting cozy mystery series by Carol Dean Jones and I hope # 4 is in the works. I really enjoy the easy style that Ms. Jones uses to convey her story telling. It's light reading @ it's best as far as I'm concerned because when I finish each book, I'm already looking forward to learning more about the residents/family/friends of her retirement community. It sounds like a place anyone would like to settle into when facing that period of one's journey in life. With her faithful four-legged companion Barney, her best friend Sophie & of course her love interest & soulmate, Charles, there's never a dull moment in her busy life. It's good to know this sixty something senior is not sitting around idly watching time pass her by! There's always a mystery to solve just around the corner & of course quilting to be done in her "spare" time!
- A beautiful setting with strong characters. The descriptions of the cruise ship and the ports along the way were great....but the best descriptions were of the wonderful quilt projects that were being made while on this quilting cruise. I've often thought of going on a cruise, and now that I'm enjoying quilting, a quilting cruise would be a great way to enjoy both a cruise and the quilting classes. This was theist best mystery of the three books Ms. Dean has written. I sincerely hope this is not the last we see of Sarah, Charles, and Sophie. I thoroughly enjoyed this third book. Hope you do also.
- I have enjoyed "getting. to know" the characters of Ms Jones' series. Sarah, a woman of about my age who faces challenges of her age group including family stresses. Charles, Sarah's close male friend. And Sophie, the robust best friend to Sarah, who provides comic relief with her sarcastic nature. And last, but certainly not least, Sarah's canine buddy, Barney, who, despite his unruly coat and scruffy look, is loved by everyone except Sophie who pretends indifference to the pooch. You really need to start with book #1, "Tie Died", book #2, "Running Stitches" and the 3rd in the series, "Sea Bound". ENJOY!
- Interesting cozy mystery. Need to read more of the series.

It's a break from work, children and household chores which will give your spirit a break.
- I really enjoyed reading the continuing adventures of Sarah, Charles, and Sophie, albeit this time at sea on a cruise ship. The book is a delightful read and filled with suspense as the journey continues. Reading Carol Dean Jones' books is comparable to listening to easy listening music--delightful in all ways.

Author - Wow! Mystery, unexpected surprises, shocking discoveries, unexpected ending - something new in each chapter. Startling ending! Awesome story telling at its best!
- Enjoyed going on the Quilting Cruise with Sarah and her two cohorts, Charles and Sophie. Have heard about quilting cruises, so was able to go along on Sarah's excursion, attend classes, etc. Story entertwined with new characters that twist and turn through the cruise. Really enjoyed the sailing experience.
