The Quick and the Thread by Amanda Lee

The Quick and the Thread (Embroidery Mystery, #1)

by Amanda Lee

First in a new mystery series that will have readers stitching-and itching for more

When Marcy Singer opens an embroidery specialty shop in quaint Tallulah Falls, Oregon, she throws a soiree and a Stitch-In. Soon, Marcy's sign- up sheet for embroidery classes fills up and everyone in town seems willing to raise a glass-or a needle-to support the newly-opened Seven Year Stitch.

Then Marcy finds the shop's previous tenant dead in the store-room, a message scratched with a tapestry needle on the wall beside him. Now Marcy's shop has become a crime scene, and she's the prime suspect. She'll have to find the killer before someone puts a final stitch in her.

I enjoyed this book much more than I expected to, as I'm not a big fan of embroidery. The story was interesting and the author did a great job with character and setting development. I'll definitely be looking forward to the next book.
