A Patchwork Killing: A Cozy Murder Mystery
Not all treasures are meant to stay hidden.
When retired librarian Edi Marlowe attends the Marigold Harbor County Fair, she expects nothing more exciting than admiring quilts and sharing funnel cake with her faithful dog, Gull. But when beloved quilter Ellen Draycott wins first prize with her stunning "Autumn Light" creation, celebration turns to tragedy overnight.
Ellen is found dead beneath her prize-winning quilt, and while everyone assumes natural causes, Edi notices details that don't quite add up. A section of mismatched stitching, a quilt that feels oddly heavy, and Ellen's mysterious excitement about a "surprise project" all point to secrets hidden in plain sight.
When Edi discovers a cache of stolen museum jewelry concealed within the quilt's batting, she realizes Ellen died not for what she'd done, but for what she'd planned to reveal. Someone in Marigold Harbor's close-knit community was desperate enough to kill rather than let their criminal past come to light.
