Synopsis
When a priceless antique is stolen, murder unravels the peaceful seaside town of Haven Harbor, Maine…
Angie Curtis and her fellow Mainely Needlepointers know how to enjoy their holidays. But nothing grabs their attention like tying up loose threads. So when Mary Clough drops in on the group’s Fourth of July supper with a question about antique needlepoint she’s discovered in her family Colonial-era home, Angie and her ravelers are happy to look into the matter.
Their best guess is that the mystery piece may have been stitched by Mary, Queen of Scots, famous not just for losing her head, but also for her needlepointing. If they’re right, the piece would be extremely valuable. For safekeeping, Angie turns the piece over to her family lawyer, who places it in her office safe. But when the lawyer is found dead with the safe and ransacked, the real mystery begins. . .
My thoughts:
So with the an old piece of needlepoint with possible ties to Marie Antoinette, Mary Queen of Scots, the story takes off into an interesting read. So many suspects to choose from the story will keep the reader guessing until the end.
With Angie’s grandmother on her honeymoon she is on her own for this investigation. But Ruth does help and it was great to see the two work together. It’s also funny that Ruth writes erotica. Another wonderful read for this author.
