Needled to Death
Southern Quilting Mysteries | Book 15
Perfect for readers who love cozy mysteries with a crafting setting, Southern charm, and a richly drawn ensemble cast. Beatrice Coleman is a retired art museum curator who moves to the mountains of Dappled Hills, NC and finds herself drawn into the Village Quilters — and into solving murders. The Patchwork Cottage quilt shop, Meadow's famous cooking, and a cast of wonderfully quirky characters make this a series you'll want to settle into for the long haul. All 20 books can be read standalone or in order.
Sometimes, encountering someone with a barbed tongue can make you feel needled to death
Dappled Hills is a lovely mountain village that regularly attracts retirees. The latest transplant tempted by the town is Flossie Powell.
At first, Flossie seems to fit in very well among the townsfolk. As a retired quilt show judge, the quilt guilds in Dappled Hills are delighted to welcome her and her expertise. But it soon becomes apparent that Flossie has a sharp tongue and isn’t afraid to use it. Perhaps it’s not that surprising when Flossie is soon found murdered.
But Beatrice has also chosen Dappled Hills to retire to. And she quickly works to restore peace to the little town she loves before the killer strikes again.
