Threadville,
PA, is the home of Willow Vanderling, who is the owner of
an embroidery shop aptly named “In Stitches.”
Willow loves Threadville, and has survived two previous murder
mysteries that enveloped the small town in suspicion and fear.
When a new murder and an old murder both surface in her own
backyard, will Willow be able to keep her composure and stitch
together the clues that solve the crimes?
There
is a town legend about Snoozy Gallagher, who allegedly stole
a bag of valuable jewels over thirty years ago, never to be
seen again. Until, that is, the excavation of a body behind
“In Stitches,” that may very well be Snoozy. Shortly
thereafter, Willow, and her boyfriend, Clay, dig up the missing
jewels- also on her property.
With
her trustee sidekick, Haylee, and Haylee’s three mothers,
along with Willow’s four-legged family of dogs and new
kittens, this book effuses charm. I especially love the scenes
in which one of Willow’s dogs, Sally-Forth, nurtures
the kittens that she rounded up and adopted.
One of
my favorite things about Thread and Buried is that
I never for a minute guessed the answers to any of the mysteries
contained within its pages. I found it to be a thoroughly
satisfying cozy mystery, sure to delight mystery lovers everywhere.
This would be a great beach read, book group read, or a book
mothers and daughters could enjoy together.
