Sometimes family matters can make you fit to be tied. Although the small town of Dappled Hills is better known for its quilt shop, bakery, and other small shops, it is also home to some larger ones. When a prominent local businessman refuses to sell his family business, his family isn’t as thrilled as he’d first expected. Some of them would rather hand the company over in exchange for a nice infusion of cash. But when Wyatt discovers the businessman murdered before the sale goes through, Beatrice must unravel the clues, making sure there are no loose threads, before anyone else is stitched up.

On Pins and Needles

Some new residents don’t deserve welcome baskets. Small towns can be notoriously cliquey. Dappled Hills, however, wasn’t usually such a town.

Annabelle could be difficult and it wasn’t a big surprise to anyone when she turned up dead. Beatrice was surprised when Annabelle moved from Atlanta to Dappled Hills … but she wasn’t surprised when she made enemies. That’s because Beatrice knew Annabelle from her days as a museum curator. Now Beatrice must find the killer … and clear her own name.
