A week at a well-known crafters’ haven sounds like just the ticket when Harriet Truman’s friend Lauren invites the Loose Threads to join her there. That’s just what it is—at first. Then Harriet’s aunt Beth says a quilt attributed to the program’s owner is identical to one she saw on a recent trip to Europe, and Lauren doesn’t hesitate to accuse Selestina Bainbridge of plagiarism. Then Selestina collapses, dead of poison, and the tranquility of the school-cum-resort explodes in a flurry of death and danger.

Book #1 of the Someday Quilts Mystery series In the tradition of Jennifer Chiaverini and Emilie Richards, a debut quilting mystery Nell Fitzgerald is thrilled when she receives a gorgeous handmade quilt in a lover's knot pattern from her grandmother Eleanor as an engagement gift. Her joy is short-lived, however, when her fiancé announces he's calling off the wedding. Heartbroken, 25-year-old Nell flees New York City for her grandmother's home in quaint Archers Rest. In this small town Eleanor's life revolves around her quilt shop, Someday Quilts, and the members of the shop's quilting circle. When the body of a local handyman known for his flirting is found in the quilt shop, murdered with a pair of quilting scissors, Nell finds herself drawn into the case, and drawn to the handsome police chief. As a pattern of clues begins to emerge, one of the prime suspects is Nell's ex-fiancé, whose arrival in Archers Rest seems suspicious. The ladies of the quilting circle continue to piece together their quilts as Nell unravels the mystery. For quilters and mystery lovers alike, The Lover's Knot is a delightful and promising debut.
