Pieced Together

When quilts hide deadly secrets, one woman's needle and thread become tools of justice. Emma Hargrove thought buying a struggling quilt shop in small-town Maple Creek would be her fresh start after corporate downsizing. She never expected her first estate sale purchase—a stunning Double Wedding Ring quilt—to contain an 80-year-old mystery that would put her life in danger. Hidden in the quilt's intricate stitching, Emma discovers documents revealing a WWII-era secret: priceless artwork hidden by families fleeing wartime persecution. But when estate executor Harold Whitman is found murdered the same day Emma makes her discovery, she realizes someone else is desperate to claim the treasure. With the help of her new quilting circle friends and skeptical Detective Mick Bryant, Emma must unravel a web of false identities, family secrets, and greed that spans eight decades. As bodies pile up and Emma becomes the killer's next target, she'll need all her newfound community connections—and her quilting expertise—to survive. Because in Maple Creek, the most dangerous patterns aren't found in fabric . . . they're woven into murder. Book 1 in the Quilting Club Mysteries.
