Applique Alibi
(2027)(The second book in the Patchwork Pines Quilting Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Kathryn Mykel
In Patchwork Pines, the most dangerous thing you can do is finally show your face.
When the Guild's annual appliqué competition attracts its first-ever public appearance from its mysterious longtime sponsor, reclusive millionaire Gatsby Pinifore, the village buzzes with excitement. But Gatsby arrives for the first and last time, comes out publicly swinging at real estate developer Ted Threadgoode, and then is found dead before the first invisible stitch is judged.
"Natural causes," says everyone who isn't Stella Thimbleton.
Meanwhile, a romance novel is saying things it shouldn't know. A lawyer who claims to be retired isn't quite. And somewhere in the abandoned textile factory across the street, an old secret is about to become someone's very current problem.
Appliqué Alibi is the second book in the Patchwork Pines quilting cozy mystery series. If you love sharp-witted sleuths, eccentric neighbors, and secrets that refuse to stay hidden, pull up a chair.
The village has been expecting you.
