Embroidery shop owner Marcy Singer gets hung up on a tapestry that may lead to sunken treasure and be the motive for murder....
When Marcy’s friend Reggie, Tallulah Falls’ local librarian, asks her to teach an embroidery class as therapy for domestic abuse victims, she gladly agrees. One of the women wants to flee from her abusive husband but is afraid to leave her elderly father-in-law behind. And she thinks Marcy can help.
The elderly gentleman shows Marcy a tapestry his grandmother made, which he believes reveals the location of pirate treasure off the Oregon coast. He’ll move to a shelter—provided Marcy takes the tapestry to keep it safe. But when the police arrive the next day to escort him out, they find the old man murdered and the house ransacked. Does someone want that treasured tapestry desperately enough to kill for it?

Amanda Lee is the national bestselling author of the Embroidery Mysteries.
When Marcy agrees to teach embroidery to a class of domestic-abuse victims at the library, she becomes involved in trying to help a teen and her mother leave their abusive home. Marcy and friends visit the teen’s grandfather, who lives in the house, to collect a family tapestry he hopes will lead to treasure and a new life for his family. When the senior is murdered, Marcy tries to find his killer. On the personal side, Marcy chooses among two men she has been dating throughout the series, prompting dismay among half her matchmaker friends. The details of the embroidery shop and its projects as well as information on treasure hunting make this mystery pleasant reading for crafters, especially fans of Monica Ferris, despite the lack of patterns. --Amy Alessio
