Allie Pleiter: One Sharp Stitch, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

When thirty-something Shelby Phillips returns to her quiet hometown just outside of Asheville, North Carolina, she reluctantly takes over her mother's Nimble Needle needlepoint shop---and gets entangled in a murder investigation...

It's only temporary. That's what Shelby tells herself when she returns to excruciatingly harmless Gwen Lake after her promising graphic arts career implodes. Her plan is as simple and fool-proof as a tent stitch: manage the family needlepoint shop during her parents' month-long RV vacation. It's not as if they're retiring . . . right?

When Shelby becomes responsible for hosting a trunk show with local vendors, she's determined to pull it off. Even if that means dealing with former classmate Kat Katsaros, a rising entrepreneur specializing in needlework scissors. Kat has changed since high school---and she's angling to take over the Nimble Needle herself. The tension unspools when Shelby makes a terrible discovery on the morning of the event: Kat's dead body.

Shelby can't believe the death was an accident, and she's set on exposing the killer. She finds help in a new friend, a potential crush, and the surprising support of her sister and the Nimble Needle stitchers. Still, Shelby must move quickly to stop the crafty culprit before her maybe not-so-temporary new life in Gwen Lake comes apart at the seams . . .
