Dropped a Stitch in Time

In Sea Harbor, some histories are woven with secrets... and written in blood. Poppy Everwood is honored when the Sea Harbor Historical Society asks for her expertise to help display their most prized possession: the legendary Founder's Quilt. It's a welcome, quiet project-a perfect break after her last two brushes with murder. But the peace is shattered when the visiting historian in charge of the quilt's restoration is found dead in the archives. Poppy quickly realizes the town's history is far more dangerous than she ever imagined. The police are baffled, but Poppy sees what they can't. In the intricate patchwork of the antique quilt, a single, modern stitch is jarringly out of place. It's not a mistake; it's a message. A clue left behind that only a fiber artist would recognize. Teaming up with her clue-sniffing rabbit, Houdini-who seems more interested in chewing on priceless historical documents than solving crimes-Poppy begins to unravel a story hidden within the quilt's threads. It's a century-old tale of betrayal, lost fortunes, and a secret someone in modern-day Sea Harbor is willing to kill to protect. As Poppy deciphers the cryptic pattern, she realizes she's not just solving a recent murder, but one that has been covered up for generations. Can she patch together the truth before the killer makes her a permanent part of Sea Harbor's history? Fans of Ellery Adams and Eva Gates will be captivated by the third installment of the Fiber & Felons mystery series. If you love historical puzzles, charming coastal towns, and a dash of crafting, you won't be able to put down Dropped a Stitch in Time!
