Dead attorneys and dusty quilts don't usually go together. But in Briarwood, nothing stays neatly folded for long.

Sadie Sawyer runs Knot Again, a craft shop she inherited along with her aunt's knack for noticing what others miss. When hired to catalog a widow's textile collection, she expects thread counts, not body counts.

The moment she spots a modern synthetic needle beside a dead estate attorney, wrong fiber, wrong era, wrong everything, she knows someone staged the scene. And they didn't know the first thing about thread.

Her sharp-nosed dog Baxter keeps alerting at a needlework triptych no one else notices. Her dry-witted friend Myrna arrives with coffee and sharper observations than the sheriff.

The caretaker with a handwritten inheritance promise has full access and plenty to lose. The attorney's polished, politically ambitious son is far more interested in the victim’s paperwork than his grief.

As the auction deadline closes in and Sadie's credentials come under deliberate attack, whoever killed Franklin Holt is growing desperate. The truth is buried. She has to find it first before she becomes the next victim.
