Lynn Casey brings readers back to Sweet Briar, South Carolina
for a holiday visit. Let is Sew remains true to the series
roots as it follows the activities of the Sweet Briar Ladies
Society sewing circle, but this time there is a twist.
Tori Sinclair, the town librarian, finds herself
and other members of the circle enlisted to work on the Sweet
Briar Christmas Decorating Committee. You see, the committee
has been taken over by one Maime Wellington, a newcomer to
town, who is plotting to change everything she can about Sweet
Briar as she strives to become the queen bee. Maime is one
bad apple. She has her sights set on becoming the new wife
of widowed Councilman Avery Jordan and she doesn’t care
who gets hurt in the process.
Thus, it is up to Tori and the other members
of the sewing circle, to stop the town’s holiday plans
from unraveling completely. Stitch by stitch they must find
a way around Maime’s plans while simultaneously plotting
to expose her true nature.
The main mystery of the story, however, is who killed the
husband of the recently deceased Charlotte Devereaux, a former
member of the sewing circle. Certainly, it couldn’t
have been Charlotte herself? Or could it? Perhaps it was one
of her sons, one greedy and underhanded, and the other mentally
challenged. As Tori learns more and more about the Devereaux
family, she finds that she cannot make the puzzle pieces fit.
The plot
hinges on saving the town’s Christmas events and finding
the real killer of a man long believed to have up and left
his wife. Whether Tori will be able to make those two things
happen, while keeping herself and her friends safe, will keep
you reading long past your bedtime to find out what happens
next.
