Chain Piecing a Mystery - A Missouri Star Mystery, #1

Fall fun, hypnotizing secrets, and more killers than victims in a small town mystery you would kill to forget...

Jenny Doan can quilt her way out of any situation, but when three people, including her niece, confess to the murder of a local celebrity, Jenny's left feeling like she's holding a needle for the first time. When the confessions are found to be a hypnotist's hoax, the relief is short lived when one of them turns up dead.

Amid trunk shows and fabric giveaways, Jenny finds long held grudges and jealousy-fueled secrets buried deep in the quilted lining of her beloved small town. When the killer threatens Jenny and her niece, she will fight to unravel the truth before they kill again. 

From festival booths to hypnotist's props, Jenny stitches together a compelling mystery with a twist readers won't see coming, whether by following the clues or a string of chain-pieced quilt blocks.
