After leaving a decade ago, Angie Curtis has been called back to Harbor Haven, Maine, by her grandmother, Charlotte, who raised her following her mother's disappearance when she was a child. Her mother has been found, and now the question of her whereabouts has sadly become the mystery of her murder. The bright spot in Angie's homecoming is reuniting with Charlotte, who has started her own needlepointing business with a group called the Mainely Needlepointers.

But when a shady business associate of the stitchers dies suddenly under suspicious circumstances, Charlotte and Angie become suspects. As Angie starts to weave together clues, she discovers that this new murder may have ties to her own mother's cold case.

Liked it but from early on I knew who killed the mom and kinda thought the other man who owned the cookie shop was a pervert or worse

Nice flowing

This is a well written and complex cozy mystery with engaging characters. The story flows at a nice pace and includes several twists and turns. I look forward to reading the next story.

I really like the story and the performance but I was disappointed with the Ouija board part. I almost stopped reading it. I’m hoping there is no occult in the other books.

Very good but disliked The Ouija board

I really loved everything about Twisted Threads. The story grabbed my interest from the first chapter and held it until the very end. The narration was excellent and I look forward to getting the next book in the series.

Loved it.

About halfway through I just started thinking “get to the point”. Lots of reminiscences that just go on and on. I do really like the story but just wish some of the extra fluff was cut out. Also, as a native Mainer, it’s disappointing to hear the town names pronounced incorrectly (Bowdoin, Machias) by a character that is supposed to be from here.

Pretty good

I'm loving this series and plan to read every story. Actually, listening in Audible while working on a needlepoint is definitely the best way to enjoy these books. You don't have to make your own needlepoint to enjoy the books but it added something positive for this reader.

Wonderful Fun Mystery

Welcome to the cozy coastal village of Haven Harbor Maine.
Wait involves the reader in a detailed well written plot. The cast of quirky characters are interesting and believable. The historical anecdotes about needlepoint and the value brought to lives past and present gives the story added depth. Looking forward to the next book!

Loved the strong characters, and how it dealt with victims of abuse. Good story line to help people to not blame themselves.

I usually love books about my home state of Maine but I was expecting a cozy rather than a realistic mystery. While there was no profanity or sex scenes, the plot did involve sexual abuse of children - not too graphic but still disturbing.

The author created realistic Maine characters with one exception; although many Mainers are reserved most are friendly with a dry sense of humor. Unfortunately there were no lighter or warm moments to balance the depressing parts.

I did enjoy the strong females characters, notably Angie and her spunky 65 year old grandmother. And the history of Maine and needle-point was interesting.

Realistic but Not Cozy
