Stitched in Secret

An Alex Allin Cozy Mystery

A clever canine. A vanished friend. A secret someone would kill to keep buried —and Alex Allin’s cozy life is about to come undone.

When a centuries-old ornate box appears in Alex Allin’s Colorado shop, it carries more than curiosity—it reveals a mystery stretching across generations. A cryptic pattern tucked inside leads straight to Istanbul. Reluctant but determined, Alex follows the thread, never expecting the puzzle to turn deadly.

When her best friend is abducted, the mystery becomes personal. With her snack-obsessed dog, Saedie, a flirtatious journalist, and the eccentric Granny Squad in tow, Alex is plunged into a tangled web of secrets, deception, and betrayal. In the labyrinth of the Grand Bazaar, suspects weave tales as intricate as a Turkish rug.

From antique dealers to local historians, everyone has something to hide—and someone wants Alex to stop asking questions.

Time is running out. If Alex and her companions can’t stitch the clues together, they might lose more than the mystery—they might lose Juniper forever

🧵 Perfect for fans of lighthearted mysteries, clever clues, and strong female friendships, Stitched in Secret is a stitch-perfect cozy threaded with unexpected twists, endearing camaraderie, and one very clever Cavapoo.

Includes a recipe and quilt block pattern.
