About this ebook
The second mystery in the Agatha Award–winning series: “Great characters, a wonderful plot, and a puzzle laid out in the unfinished threads of a quilt.” —Ocala Star-Banner
New York caterer-turned-minister’s wife Faith Fairchild and her husband, Tom, have left the little village of Aleford, Massachusetts for a summer on Sanpere Island, off the coast of Maine. But Tom is called away to a three-week religious retreat in New Hampshire, leaving Faith to amuse herself and care for Benjamin, who’s currently in what parents call the “terrible twos” stage.
The summer begins innocently enough, with Faith involved in a seemingly harmless mystery—a hunt for treasure, the clues to which are cryptically embedded in a patchwork quilt she bought at an estate auction. But the trail leads instead to the body of another summer resident along the beach, and Faith is forced into more serious—and dangerous—kind of detection . . .
“[A] highly entertaining series.” —Booklist
“[Page’s] young sleuth is a charmer.” —The New York Times Book Review
“Page is known for leavening her work with humor and warmth.” —The Boston Herald
