Crafts and Life

After a rough divorce, Abby McCree only wants to stitch up her life and move on. But other loose ends appear after her elderly Aunt Sybil passes away, leaving Abby to tend to a rundown estate, complete with a slobbery Mastiff of questionable pedigree and a sexy tenant who growls more than the dog. As Abby gets drawn into a tight-knit quilting guild, she makes a twisted discovery–Aunt Sybil's only known rival is buried in her backyard!

Despite what local detectives say, Abby refuses to accept that her beloved aunt had anything to do with the murder. While navigating a busy social calendar and rediscovering the art of quilting, she launches an investigation of her own to clear Aunt Sybil's name and catch the true culprit. The incriminating clues roll in, yet Abby can't help but wonder–can she survive her new responsibilities in Snowberry Creek and still manage to patch together a killer's deadly pattern without becoming the next victim?

Abby McCree is trying to get her life back on track after a rather traumatic divorce, she has inherited her beloved Aunt's house and is gradually sorting through it, the other things she has inherited are a Mastiff cross dog named Zeke, a rather growly tenant called Tripp and (scarily) her Aunt Sybil's post in various committees, the main one of which is the quilting guild.  So far so good, Abby has taken a deep breath and got on with stuff, the one thing she does want to get done (before the quilting guild garage sale at her property) is clearing a large patch of brambles (Tripp does a lot of gardening and DIY as part of his rent but the brambles are low down on his list), after she tries to clear them Tripp finds out that a couple of local farmers rent out their goats to do this type of clearance! and so this is what Abby goes with, part way through the first day though they see a goat chewing fabric, Tripp headed into the temporary closure and whilst in there discovers a dead body!

When it turns out that the dead woman was someone that Sybil had had a verbal dust up with shortly before she disappeared, fingers are pointed at Abby's late aunt as the killer, now against the best advice of the Detective in charge and Tripp Abby is determined to clear her aunt's name and get the real killer jailed.
