From the Publisher:
When Marcy Singer opens an embroidery specialty shop in quaint Tallulah Falls, Oregon, she throws a soiree and a Stitch-In. Soon, Marcy’s sign-up sheet for embroidery classes fills up and everyone in town seems willing to raise a glass—or a needle—to support the newly-opened Seven Year Stitch.
Then Marcy finds the shop’s previous tenant dead in the storeroom, a message scratched with a tapestry needle on the wall beside him. Now Marcy’s shop has become a crime scene, and she’s the prime suspect. She’ll have to find the killer before someone puts a final stitch in her.
Quick Thoughts on This Book From Julie:
This book was a super quick read and I LOVED it! I had already read book two in this series so I was familar with the most of the characters already - which helped me to read the book quickly. As you know I love cozies that are crafty!! Marcy gets pulled into the mystery in this little town and it's fun to get pulled along with her... You'll enjoy reading this book and if you're a fan of needlework or embrodery you'll love it even more for the fun little tidbits of craftyness sewn in here and there.
