Thread and Gone
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
When a priceless antique is stolen, murder unravels the peaceful seaside town of Haven Harbor, Maine . . .
Angie Curtis and her fellow Mainely Needlepointers know how to enjoy their holidays. But nothing grabs their attention like tying up loose threads. So when Mary Clough drops in on the group's Fourth of July supper with a question about antique needlepoint she's discovered in her family Colonial-era home, Angie and her ravelers are happy to look into the matter.
Their best guess is that the mystery piece may have been stitched by Mary, Queen of Scots, famous not just for losing her head, but also for her needlepointing. If they're right, the piece would be extremely valuable. For safekeeping, Angie turns the piece over to her family lawyer, who places it in her office safe. But when the lawyer is found dead with the safe open and ransacked, the real mystery begins . . .

Historic embroidery is a motive for murder in a small Maine town. Angie Curtis couldn't get away from her hometown of Haven Harbor fast enough when she was a teenager. Now she's back, living in the house of the grandmother who raised her while Gram is on her honeymoon. Angie is giving a July Fourth dinner for fellow members of her small business, Mainely Needlepoint, when state trooper Ethan Trask's younger brother, Rob, arrives with his fiancee, Mary Clough. Mary's been cleaning out her parents' house, which has been in the family for generations, and she's discovered an old panel of embroidery. She and Rob want Angie and the other members of the needlepoint group to estimate its worth so that Rob can sell it to buy his own lobster boat. The panel and the old letter in French accompanying it certainly look antique, and while Angie's establishing their provenance, she entrusts the panel to Lenore Pendleton, Gram's lawyer. It seems like a good idea until Lenore is found in her nightgown bludgeoned to death in her own living room. All her jewelry and the embroidery are gone. Even though Ethan doesn't want Angie to meddle, the 10 years she worked for an Arizona private eye make it impossible for her to walk away. As she pursues the possibility that the panel has connections to both Mary, Queen of Scots, and Marie Antoinette, Angie establishes who knew that the embroidery was with Lenore, and whom Lenore knew well enough to let into her house at night. Then Angie identifies what appears to be a prime suspect, with only one slight complication: the suspect is dead. It's a big jump from needlework to homicide, but Wait combines a plausible plot with the same rockbound coastal atmosphere as in Shadows on a Maine Christmas (2014).COPYRIGHT(2015) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Mary Clough asks Angie Curtis, the new director of Mainely Needlepoint in small-town Maine, to determine the value of a piece of needlepoint she found in her attic. Angie and her employees believe the needlepoint may have been stitched by Mary, Queen of Scots, and they hope to establish the provenance to prove their theory. However, after Angie leaves the needlepoint with lawyer Lenore Pendleton, Lenore is found murdered, her safe empty of the needlepoint as well as some valuable jewelry. Was the needlepoint or the jewelry the motive for her death? Feeling responsible for Mary's loss, Angie, who formerly worked as a PI in Arizona, continues the investigation into the history of the piece as well as questioning people in hopes of recovering it. This village cozy, populated with sympathetic characters and framed by details of the history of needlepoint as well as a smattering of English and French history, will appeal to fans of Kaitlyn Dunnett's Liss MacCrimmon series, also set in Maine.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)
