An Embroidery Mystery
BY AMANDA LEE
ABOUT THE BOOK:
When murder strikes the small town of Tallulah Falls, embroidery shop owner Marcy Singer isn’t afraid of getting down to the knitty-gritty to clear her name….
For most small-business owners in Tallulah Falls, the upcoming Renaissance Faire is a wonderful way to promote their specialty shops. For Marcy’s nemesis, Nellie, and her sister, Clara, it’s an opportunity to finally put Marcy and her shop, the Seven-Year Stitch, out of business. Apparently the sisters like to make grudges a family affair and have set up competing booths right next to Marcy’s at the Ren Faire.
When Clara is discovered dead in her own booth—strangled by the scarf she had almost finished knitting—Marcy becomes the prime suspect. Now she has to do whatever it takes to keep her reputation from unraveling—and get to the bottom of a most deadly yarn…

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.

I have gone to a Rennaisance Faire several times and really enjoyed it. But getting strangled by the scarf that you have been knitting seems super cruel!!!

I watched a trailer on the Wicked stitch and everyone in it were wearing clothes of an earlier period, maybe 1950s?

It's been 35 years or more since I went to a Renaissance Faire. I can't imagine the booth owners hating each other. In those days, it was still just us hippies. I'd like to see how this gets solved.

Your link didn't work for the Amanda Lee site but I was able to find the Gayle Trent Site. You can get free embroidery patterns and she has recipes there.
