The Quilted Alibi

A Lark & Quill Mystery · Mira Ellsworth

A quilt-show death. An endpaper hidden in a square. Helen Brig is thirty-four and she can tell when fabric is lying. Sheriff Hugh Kline is thirty-eight and he asked her to pie, not wine.

They almost kiss in the parking lot. His radio has other plans. The guild officer needed a folio gone. The square was described by noon if you were looking.
