The Patchwork Detectives Return in a Heartwarming Christmas Cozy!

When Millfield's cherished antique nativity set vanishes just days before the annual Christmas pageant, the town turns to its unlikely heroes—the Patchwork Detectives. Dorothy "Dot" Jenkins, Agatha "Aggie" Palmer, Frances "Frankie" Sullivan, and Ruth Wilson must unravel the mystery before Christmas is ruined!

As snow blankets the charming New England town, the four friends discover the theft is far more complex than it appears. The nativity set, with each piece contributed by a founding family during the Great Depression, holds not only sentimental value but possibly a long-hidden secret within the shepherd figure—one that could change property lines throughout Millfield's historic district.

With suspects including a Boston antiques dealer with questionable methods, a perfectionist pageant director with family connections to the figures, a financially struggling caretaker, and a suspicious town historian, the Patchwork Detectives must follow every thread of evidence.

Racing against the holiday clock, these savvy sleuths set a trap in the church bell tower that leads to midnight revelations and unexpected truths about what the nativity set truly represents—a story of community unity during difficult times that resonates just as strongly today.

Heartwarming, clever, and filled with holiday spirit, "Holiday Threads" weaves together mystery, friendship, and the true meaning of Christmas in a tale that will delight cozy mystery lovers of all ages. Join the Patchwork Detectives for their most meaningful case yet, where the greatest gift isn't what's hidden in the shepherd figure, but what the town discovers about itself along the way.
