Crafts and Life

With her career as a dress designer in shreds, Polyester Monroe is looking forward to a fresh start. But as it all unfolds, the pattern to a new beginning looks a lot like murder.

When Poly Monroe was little, she loved playing in her family’s textile store. But after a fatal family tragedy, Land of A Thousand Fabrics was boarded up and Poly never expected to see the inside again. Now, as inheritor of the long-shuttered shop, she’s ready to restore the family business. However her two new kittens, Pins and Needles, aren’t the ones causing a snag in her plans…

Not everyone wants Poly back in San Ladrón, especially a powerful local developer pressuring her to sell—and leave town fast. But even when the threats turn deadly, she’s not ready to bolt. Because Poly is beginning to suspect that the murder behind the shop is tied to a mystery in her family’s unsettled past that she’s determined to solve…before her own life is left hanging by a thread.

What a great opener to a new series! I love the way Poly got her name and the twists and turns of the plot.

Poly Monroe has been left the family textile store, the only problem is it has been closed up since her Great Aunt Millie was  murdered on the premises, everyone (including Poly!) expects her to sign on the dotted line and sell the building quickly, but after stepping back inside she decides to think about it, whilst inside though her car is vandalised, then one of the Senior Citizens who do a neighbourhood watch patrol is killed outside, the thing is the man was the only person who might have been able to shed light on the mystery surrounding her Great Aunt's death.

Now with the vandalism escalating and attacks on herself, Poly is unsure who to trust, the one thing that she is sure about, she ain't leaving without a fight!
