A Thread of Darkness - Paperback

by Sally Goldenbaum (Author)

The national bestselling author of the Seaside Knitters mysteries returns to find the Crestwood Quilters on pins and needles when a killer strikes. . .

As owners of the popular bistro The French Quarter, former New York City restauranteurs Picasso and Laurel St. Pierre are the toast of the town of Crestwood, Kansas. Chef Picasso's culinary creations delight the women of the quilting club, who have embraced him as a friend. But Laurel's anti-social behavior confuses Kate Simpson--until she spots Mrs. St. Pierre with another man in what appears to be a lover's spat.

Gossip travels fast in a small town like Crestwood, and rumor has it this isn't Laurel's first indiscretion. She also filed a police report accusing Picasso of domestic abuse. And when Laurel's murdered body is found Picasso is the prime suspect. To prove their friend's innocence, Kate and the Crestwood Quilters must uncover the secrets of Laurel's past--a patchwork history wrapped up in Kate's own teenage years . . .
