Buttoned Up and Buried
(2027)(The third book in the Tangled Threads Mystery series)
A novel by Ellie Webster
A golden vineyard. A harvest celebration. And a murder that leaves a bitter finish.
Autumn has arrived in Thistle Grove, and with it comes the much-anticipated wine harvest. The surrounding hills glow with color as local vineyards open their gates for tastings, tours, and the town’s annual Harvest Weekend. Maisie Button is delighted to join the festivities, supplying handcrafted table runners and cozy touches from Tangled Threads to help one of the oldest wineries host their biggest event of the year.
But the warm welcome turns cold when a prominent figure in the local wine scene is found dead among the vines.
At first, it looks like a tragic accident. Yet Maisie knows better. A misplaced tool, a hushed argument, and a guest list full of rival winemakers and uneasy partners suggest something far more troubling beneath the surface.
With the Knit & Natter group gathered close and Mewsly keeping a watchful eye on every spool and suspect, Maisie begins to untangle a web of quiet rivalries and long-fermented grudges. Because in a town where reputation is everything, someone is willing to do more than just crush grapes to protect their legacy.
And if Maisie doesn’t uncover the truth soon, this harvest season may claim more than just the year’s final crop.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
