She salvages the past… and uncovers deadly secrets.

If you love cozy mysteries with strong heroines, small-town charm, and secrets stitched into every page, the Stitches in Crime collection is your next binge-worthy escape.
Book 1 – Crossed by Death
Paisley Sutton uncovers more than antiques when she finds a body in an abandoned store. As she investigates the murder’s chilling connection to the building’s history, someone tries to silence her. Can Paisley expose the truth before she and her son become part of the past?
Book 2 – Bobbins and Bodies
Salvaging a condemned house, Paisley discovers another body—this time a young man killed decades ago. As her investigation reveals long-buried secrets, Paisley finds herself caught in a tangle of lies and fear. Can she unearth the truth before she’s buried along with it?
Book 3 – Hanged by a Thread
Hoping to salvage a rare 19th-century printing press, Paisley instead uncovers a dangerous family secret. Her research leads to a high-stakes genealogical mystery that someone doesn’t want solved. With her business and life on the line, can Paisley thread the truth together before everything unravels?

Hard to put down
Reading of Pais!ey, Sawyer and Santiago's adventures was a great insight into crime, child rearing, history and of the culture. It is an excellent example of acceptance of who and what we are. As the story developed you learn to love Paisley's dad, step mom and best friend Mika. This was a book set that had me up until 4 am reading. I hope you will give this set of books a chance, you will not be disappointed.

I really liked this 3 book set
I like book sets because it allows me to go from one book straight to another without stopping. This is a great story about a 46 year old woman’s and her 3 year old son. Paisley started an architectural salvage company and historical blog. She is always uncovering dead bodies in the buildings. I hope there are more!

Small town life
What a truly beautiful series. From the gossip trail, families with local histories, and the odd characters to subtle romance and murder in strange places, it is all absolutely readable. Small town life at its best. And worst. I’m hooked!

Absolutely brilliant
Loved these books, so well written that you are almost an observer of events, an unusual job with abandoned buildings, lots of supporting cast, and great fun with a toddler
