A Stitch in Crime: Quilts of Love Series
By Cathy Elliott (Abingdon Press)
Release date: January 20, 2015
Assault, larceny, anonymous threats. Who knew quilt shows could be this dangerous? Thea James has accepted an assignment as co-chairperson for Larkindale’s first quilt show extravaganza. Juggling the new assignment with running her antique business, she’s already feeling frayed when things start to unravel. Mary-Alice Wentworth, a much-loved town matriarch, respected quilt judge, and Thea’s dear friend, is covertly conked on the head during the kick-off Quilt Show Soiree, throwing suspicion on her guests. It also appears that a valuable diamond brooch has been stolen during the attack.

Review – A Stitch in Crime
Reviewed by Victor Gentile
Get ready for a mystery that will keep you guessing until Ms. Elliott reveals all to you at the end. Then you give out a satisfied “AAh”. This is a truly enjoyable read and I look forward to more from this very talented author.
Review – A Stitch in Crime
Reviewed by Donn Taylor
Every page or two contains an inimitable sentence such as the understated “The string quartet sawed with vigor.” And the character Thea is herself an expert punster (punstress?). The result is a thoroughly delightful novel that will keep its readers smiling on every page.
Review – A Stitch in Crime
Reviewed by Laura Hilton
A STITCH IN CRIME kind of has a feel of a Clue game when it begins. My kids love to play that… the crime has been committed and you have to figure out who-dun-it. With a houseful of guests and no witnesses—anyone could’ve.
