Fit To Be Tied

Sometimes family matters can make you fit to be tied. Although the small town of Dappled Hills is better known for its quilt shop, bakery, and other small shops, it is also home to some larger ones. When a prominent local businessman refuses to sell his family business, his family isn’t as thrilled as he’d first expected. Some of them would rather hand the company over in exchange for a nice infusion of cash. But when Wyatt discovers the businessman murdered before the sale goes through, Beatrice must unravel the clues, making sure there are no loose threads, before anyone else is stitched up.
