Death Among the Doilies

Description

2017 Daphne Du Maurier Award for Excellence in Mystery/Suspense Finalist "The perfect weekend getaway: crafting, food, and a murder or two!"-- New York Times bestselling author Lynn Cahoon For thirty-something blogger Cora Chevalier, small-town Indigo Gap, North Carolina, seems like the perfect place to reinvent her life. Shedding a stressful past as a counselor for a women's shelter, Cora is pouring all her talents--and most of her savings--into a craft retreat business, with help from close pal and resident potter Jane Starr. Between transforming her Victorian estate into a crafter's paradise and babysitting Jane's daughter, the new entrepreneur has no time for distractions. Especially rumors about the murder of a local school librarian . . . But when Jane's fingerprints match those found at the grisly crime scene, Cora not only worries about her friend, but her own reputation. With angry townsfolk eager for justice and both Jane's innocence and the retreat at risk, she must rely on her creative chops to unlace the truth behind the beloved librarian's disturbing demise. Because if the killer's patterns aren't pinned, Cora's handiwork could end up in stitches . . .
