Dire Threads, Berkley Prime Crime (PenguinUSA) June, 2011
Threadville has everything—a fabric store, a yarn shop, a notions boutique, and a quilting shop. The newest shop in Threadville is Willow Vanderling’s embroidery shop, In Stitches. This is not your grandmother’s embroidery. This is embroidery created by software and computers and stitched by high-end sewing and embroidery machines. Willow will teach Threadville tourists how to do things like turn photographic images into thread art. She will sell (and play with) the newest sewing and embroidery machines. She will continue to love her new life in Threadville. She will . . .uh-oh, this wasn’t part her business plan. She will need to investigate murders. With help, sort of. Willow has her hands full keeping the women who own the other Threadville shops out of mischief so she can find the real murderers. But she has to. Prison jumpsuits don’t allow for a lot of originality or creativity. Or machine embroidery. Quirky characters, charming town and appealing sleuth are all beautifully stitched together in this entertaining first mystery – Mary Jane Maffini
