Tartan and Treachery

An Alex Allin Cozy Mystery

🧵 Murder, Mayhem, and a Castle Full of Secrets—This Retreat Could Be Their Last

Quilt shop owner Alex Allin expected a tranquil escape at Blair Castle’s Scottish quilting retreat—until the famed but foul-tempered instructor is found dead inside the locked sewing salon. No way in. No way out. Someone came armed—with more than just scissors.
The clues? A centuries-old quilt, a cryptic symbol, a missing heirloom—and the haunting tale of Moira MacNairn, an accused witch whose final secrets are stitched into the castle walls themselves.
Trapped by a storm, Alex leans on her loyal Cavapoo Saedie, the charmingly unpredictable Justin Case, the meddling-but-mighty Granny Squad—and best friend Juniper, still reeling from a suspicious tumble.
Among the suspects: Margot, the rival with everything to gain from Cordelia’s silence, and Giles, the castle historian who knows every secret passage—and every buried sin.
As thunder roars and the lights go out, it’s clear: the killer isn’t hiding—they’re hunting. Armed. Silent. Slipping through secret passages no one should know exist.

If Alex can’t unravel the clues in time, the quilt won’t be the only thing buried for good.

For fans of Amanda Flower, Ellery Adams, and Miss Marple—with a Scottish twist.
Includes a bonus Scottish recipe and heirloom quilt square!

very good

I liked it was clean and she quoted the Bible it was a very good book😊

Pot-luck cozy mystery

The author crammed every popular/stereotypical cozy mystery theme into this book. Because of that, the story doesn’t hang together very well. Add terrible virtual voice narration and I’m out for future books in the series.
