Sewing Suspicion

Alex has walked away from a high-pressure career at a New York law firm to come home and look after the matriarch of her family's quilting circle. When the older woman dies, everyone around Alex calls it a tragic accident. Alex, trained to read what people leave out, does not.

Piecing together the inconsistencies the way she would piece a quilt, she works through the small town's tangle of grudges, secrets and quiet resentments to prove the death was murder.

Kathryn Mykel's debut opens the Quilting Cozy Mysteries series: an amateur-sleuth cozy with a craft-shop setting, a small-town cast, and no on-page gore. It won the 2021 Indie Cozy Mystery Book of the Year.
