In the quiet seaside town of Thimblewick Bay, gossip travels faster than a seagull on a storm wind - and nothing escapes the sharp eye of Marnie Swift, local embroidery shop owner and proud collector of grudges, teapots, and vintage needlework patterns.
When a customer donates an antique quilt to Marnie's shop, it seems like just another piece of charming clutter. But stitched into its fabric is a cryptic pattern - a series of coded symbols that appear to mirror a series of mysterious deaths from the town's past. When a beloved local baker turns up dead under suspicious circumstances, Marnie can't help but wonder: is someone using the quilt's pattern as a blueprint for murder?
Despite her best intentions to stay uninvolved ("I run a shop, not a sleuthing society!"), Marnie finds herself knee-deep in local secrets, long-held rivalries, and enough red herrings to knit a sweater. With the reluctant help of Thimblewick's introverted librarian and a surprisingly tech-savvy teenager, she'll have to follow the thread of clues before another stitch in the pattern is sewn - this time, in her own name.
Full of cozy charm, clever puzzles, and small-town sass, A Stitch in Crime is the first in the Thread & Dead Mystery Series, perfect for fans of crafts, cats, and crimes that don't require a strong stomach. Marnie Swift is no Miss Marple - she's sharper, saltier, and twice as likely to tell you off with a smile.
In Thimblewick Bay, secrets are stitched tight... but nothing stays buried forever.
