The Shattered Quilt MTA
A Cozy Mystery Weaving Threads of Intrigue

About this book:

Step into the picturesque town of Maplewood, where the comforting rhythm of life is suddenly shattered by the shocking death of Agnes Carver, the revered matriarch of the local quilting club. Jessica Lane, owner of The Blackbird Book Nook and an amateur detective with a knack for spotting "hidden threads," finds herself drawn into a mystery that unravels the very fabric of her cozy community. As whispers turn to outright suspicion, Jessica discovers that Agnes, far from being a simple quilter, was a meticulous keeper of secrets, systematically "unpicking" generations of deceit, and her "loose ends" project threatened to expose some of Maplewood's most prominent citizens.

As Jessica delves deeper, she uncovers a labyrinth of historical fraud, current embezzlement, and long-buried family secrets, all meticulously documented by Agnes in her "quilt of truths." From an antique pin that serves as the murder weapon and a powerful historical artifact to a series of intricately crafted pincushions, each clue reveals a deeper layer of the town's hidden past and present. With the annual Maplewood Quilt Show looming as the stage for Agnes's planned exposé, Jessica races against time, guided by cryptic messages from an anonymous ally, to piece together the shattered patterns and expose a cunning killer desperate to keep their woven deceptions undisturbed.
