Mystery Cozy

Unraveling family secrets can be murder in Suede to Rest... THE FIRST BOOK IN THE ALL-NEW “MATERIAL WITNESS” MYSTERY SERIES

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.

INCLUDES A CRAFT PROJECT

Re: Suede To Rest

Your posting brought back a lot of memories for me. My
Father passed away about 6 months ago, and after Probate was
over, I had a chance to go into my Parents' house with my
Sisters. While going through my Mother's sewing machine
cabinet, I came across scraps of fabric that my Mother used
to make dresses for us when we were small, and for our
Barbie dolls. I still have one more trip to make there, and
I'm looking for the old buttons that she had in a special
container. I'm a bit rusty as far as sewing goes, but the
curtains that I made for one of the bedrooms still hang
proudly in the windows. Your book series is really going to
have special meaning to me, being a child of the 50's
myself, and I'm really looking forward to reading it!!
Thank you for coming here today, and taking a trip down
memory lane with us, letting us know a little more about the
book than we would normally know!! It's always fun to know
a little more background than normal from the Author!! The
cover is wonderful as well!! Whomever did the artwork,
really outdid themselves, and deserve a pat on the back!!
