Thread and Buried

the long version

"Every town has a legend. For Threadville, it's the story of Snoozy Gallagher, the hotel owner who disappeared thirty years ago with a bag full of stolen jewelry, never to be heard from again. That is, until now-when Snoozy's loot is discovered buried behind Willow Vanderling's embroidery shop In Stitches. When villagers mysteriously become ill, and a body shrouded in materials from Threadville shops appears in the exact spot where the treasure was-along with two abandoned kittens-Willow needs answers. The random events are too coincidental to be unrelated, but Willow will have to act quickly to unravel the deadly mystery, or she might get tangled up as the killer's next victim..." --P.
