An Embroidery Mystery
BY AMANDA LEE
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Embroidery shop owner Marcy Singer gets hung up on a
tapestry that may lead to sunken treasure and be the motive
for murder....
When Marcy’s friend Reggie, Tallulah Falls’ local librarian, asks her to teach an embroidery class as therapy for domestic abuse victims, she gladly agrees. One of the women wants to flee from her abusive husband but is afraid to leave her elderly father-in-law behind. And she thinks Marcy can help.
The elderly gentleman shows Marcy a tapestry his grandmother made, which he believes reveals the location of pirate treasure off the Oregon coast. He’ll move to a shelter—provided Marcy takes the tapestry to keep it safe. But when the police arrive the next day to escort him out, they find the old man murdered and the house ransacked. Does someone want that treasured tapestry desperately enough to kill for it?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Amanda Lee is a pseudonym Gayle Trent is using for the new
cozy mystery series featuring a heroine who owns an
embroidery shop. The series is set on the Oregon Coast and
features Marcy Singer, a spunky, thirty-something,
entrepreneur who is handy with a needle.
Amanda/Gayle lives in Southwest Virginia with her husband and two beautiful children, a boy and a girl. She’s a full-time writer/editor/mom/wife and chief cook and bottle washer, and she loves every minute of it. Okay, not the bottle washing so much, but the rest of it is great.
