Quilts of Love: A Stitch in Crime by Cathy Elliot

About the Book: 
New from Abingdon Press’ Quilts of Love series | A Stitch in Crime
Thea’s first quilt show is coming apart at the seams!
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. The family is furious. But is it because of their mugged mother or the missing diamonds?
When a renowned textile expert goes MIA and the famous Wentworth heritage quilt disappears, Larkindale’s reputation as a tourist haven is at risk. Thea attempts to piece the mystery together and save the town’s investment in the quilt show before Mary‑Alice is attacked again . . . with far worse results.

This is the first book I've read by Cathy Elliot and the umpteenth book I've read in the Quilts of Love series and.... I LOVED it!  :)  It was filled with humor, mystery, everyday struggles and a little romance.  I love a good "whodunit" that keeps me guessing and A Stitch in Crime did just that. :)   I really didn't have a clue as to "whodunit" until the very end. I am looking forward to reading more by this new-to-me author and I hope you'll pick up this book and enjoy it too!
