Omschrijving

When 30-something graphic artist Shelby Phillips reluctantly returned to her small hometown outside Asheville, North Carolina to manage her mother's needlepoint shop, she thought it was temporary. But getting entangled in murder investigations has a timeline of its own...

It's been a little over a year since Shelby started managing Nina's Nimble Needle following her office-romance-and-career-implosion, and Shelby's mom has finally handed her the reins--technically, at least. Next, Shelby is excited to oversee two well-known needlepoint designers who will be participating in the town's first, week-long arts and crafts festival . . .

Laura Bitters and Paul Bardo have each stitched up one-of-a-kind pillows that should be big wins for the Nimble Needle at the festival's auction. . . . Until the pillows vanish amid a sudden string of shoplifting.

To add to the knot in Shelby's stomach, Laura proves highly anxious, while Paul is an egomaniac who believes Laura has been stealing his customers for years. But things go from bad to tragic when Laura behaves oddly at the auction dinner, then collapses--dead.

Soon after, Shelby makes a shocking discovery in Laura's hotel room. Then tests reveal that Laura was poisoned. Resolved to piece together the truth despite the police chief's determination to keep her on the fringes, Shelby rallies her personal team, including her sister, Jessica, her friend, Deb, and
potential-more-than-friend, Jake. As an extra twist, a magazine reporter arrives with unsettling--yet useful--dirt that includes Laura and Paul.

What unravels is a skein of suspects, long held resentment, bitter jealousy, and betrayal from which Shelby will have to pull the one crucial thread tied to the killer: a murder-worthy motive . . .
