About this eBook
First in the Mainely Needlepoint series. “A cozy debut that hits all the sweet spots: small town, family ties, and a crew of intriguing personalities.”—Library Journal
Returning to the quaint coastal town of Harbor Haven, Maine—a place she once called home—Angie Curtis finds her memories aren’t all quite pleasant ones . . .
After leaving a decade ago, Angie has been called back to Harbor Haven by her grandmother, Charlotte, who raised her following her mother’s disappearance when she was a child. Her mother has been found, and now the question of her whereabouts has sadly become the mystery of her murder.
The bright spot in Angie’s homecoming is reuniting with Charlotte, who has started her own needlepointing business with a group called Mainely Needlepointers. But when a shady business associate of the stitchers dies suddenly under suspicious circumstances, Charlotte and Angie become suspects. As Angie starts to weave together clues, she discovers that this new murder may have ties to her own mother’s cold case . . .

Book 1 Twisted Threads series A Mainely Needlepoint Mystery by: Lea Wait is one of the best mystery's I've read as of today. You became Angela Curtis when he went back home to put her mother to rest after 19years gone; and trying to put the past to rest while trying to find out what happened to her all the while looking for the person who killed the groups manager. And trying to stay ahead of the police before either her or her grandmother goes to jail for killing him.
