Thread & Tangle Mysteries – Book Five
By M.C. Needleton

She just wanted a quiet night in… until murder showed up on her screen.

Everly Faye Galloway is home sick with a cup of tea, her coziest quilt, and a full queue of Murder, She Wrote reruns. But her peaceful night takes a terrifying turn when she tunes into a live quilting tutorial from her friend Michelle London—and watches in horror as Michelle screams, the camera cuts out, and the screen goes dark.

Two days later, Michelle is found dead. On the steps of A Stitch in Time.

It wasn’t random. It wasn’t a robbery. And Everly knows it wasn’t an accident.

When a handmade quilted bag Michelle was sewing during the stream turns up next to the body, unfinished, but hiding something inside, Everly follows a trail of cryptic patterns, missing footage, and a project Michelle never got the chance to finish.

But someone is watching. Someone who knows Everly is getting close. And in Ivy Ridge, even cozy corners can cast long shadows.
