Marcy Singer has followed her dreams and moved to the quiet
little town of Tallulah Falls, Oregon to open her own
stitchery shop, The Seven Year Stitch. Celebrating the
shop's grand opening with goodies and coffee from her
friend Sadie's coffee shop, Marcy is thrilled with the
reaction of her customers to the new store. But when the
previous tenant crashes the party, insisting on talking
with Marcy, a pall is cast over the festivities. Even more
gloom shrouds the shop when that previous business owner is
found dead in Marcy's storeroom, just hours after the grand
opening event. Not long afterward, Marcy's landlord is
also found dead, and all fingers begin to point in the
direction of the town's newest resident - Marcy.
Anxious to clear her name, Marcy begins
to ask questions about a shady real estate deal that seems
to connect everyone in Tallulah Falls, including her best
friend Sadie. With a little help from a handsome detective,
a gorgeous pub owner, and protection from her Irish
wolfhound Angus, Marcy just might be able to stitch up the
mysterious deaths before the killer threads another needle-
full of trouble!
In her debut novel, THE QUICK AND THE THREAD, author Amanda
Lee gives her Embroidery Mystery series a rousing start
with a fast-paced, intriguing who-done-it that will delight
fans of the cozy mystery genre. With a cast of lively
characters, and an interesting theme that is sure to
attract fans of crafting mysteries, the only thing missing
from this charming book is the inclusion of an embroidery
pattern or two! But the author (who is also writes as Gayle
Trent) has two cute patterns available at her website --

When Marcy Singer opens
an embroidery specialty shop in quaint Tallulah Falls,
Oregon, she throws a soiree and a Stitch-In. Soon, Marcy's
sign- up sheet for embroidery classes fills up and everyone
in town seems willing to raise a glass-or a needle-to
support the newly-opened Seven Year Stitch.
Then Marcy
finds the shop's previous tenant dead in the store-room, a
message scratched with a tapestry needle on the wall beside
him. Now Marcy's shop has become a crime scene, and she's
the prime suspect. She'll have to find the killer before
someone puts a final stitch in her.
