A Notion to Murder: April 19, 2022
Southern Quilting Mysteries | Book 16
Perfect for fans of Southern small-town cozies with a crafting backdrop — Beatrice Coleman stumbles into murder in the quilting community of Dappled Hills, NC, surrounded by an eccentric and lovable cast of fellow quilters. Warm, witty, and deeply comforting.
Life gets stressful when someone takes a notion to murder.
Lester Dawson is a wealthy man. Unfortunately, he believes his wealth gives him certain rights—especially when it comes to his family. He meddles, coerces, and bullies. This means his children and his long-suffering wife aren’t the fondest of him sometimes. But for Lester, being popular isn’t as important as being influential . . . and controlling.
When his 80th birthday rolls around, the family grudgingly plans a celebration. However, the festivities are cut short when Lester is found in his library—quite dead.
Beatrice becomes pulled in since one of Lester’s children is a quilting friend of hers. Can Beatrice figure out who killed Lester before someone else takes a notion to murder?
