Dyes and Desires

A Quilt Shop Dog Cozy Mystery

The Coastal Craft Fair has come to Patchwork Place, and Gloria Greyson couldn't be more excited. Her quilting shop booth is stocked, her best friend Bev's lemon scones are transcendent, and the whole town is buzzing — until a glamorous visiting textile artist is found dead at her display and a talented local quilter becomes the prime suspect. Gloria knows the accusation doesn't stitch together, but with half the town whispering and the police asking pointed questions, she'll need more than intuition to unravel the truth.

Armed with sharp-eyed friends, two teenagers who notice everything, and a sheepdog with a nose for trouble, Gloria begins pulling threads that lead from stolen quilt designs to hidden partnerships to a secret worth killing for. Every conversation reveals a new suspect, every clue points in a different direction, and the closer Gloria gets to the pattern at the center of it all, the clearer it becomes that someone at the fair has been playing a very dangerous game.

Welcome back to Patchwork Place, where the quilts are original, the banter is sharp, the pastries are worth the trip, and Gloria Greyson proves once again that nobody pieces together a mystery quite like a quilter with a good eye and a better dog.
