    Is blood truly thicker than water? 
    After the year she's had, Reverend Margot Quade is ready to spend New Years at a cozy bed and breakfast to recharge. The Lord has other ideas. The other guests are desperately in need of some pastoral counseling: a married couple at odds, a young woman with a dark secret and a solider headed off for a tour of duty. When the soldier, Private Parker, ends up dead, Margot can't help but investigate. 
    Without her usual crime fighting partner, Margot teams up with another amateur sleuth to find the truth. At first glance, no one seems like the obvious suspect and when Private Parker's belongings go missing, Margot suspects there's more to the young soldier than meets the eye. 
    As evidence points to one of the guests, Margot digs into the connections linking the victim and the potential killer. What she finds threatens to expose a deadly secret. One that could ruin more lives if not brought to light. 
    MY BROTHER'S KEEPER is the fourth book in this fast-paced, faith-filled series. The Reverend Margot Quade Cozy Mystery series is best enjoyed in order. You can begin the journey in book 1, Into the Lion's Den.

    🍰 Quilt shop owner and fabric stack specialist Lily Layer is hosting a layer cake cutting party when the shop's most competitive customer—a notorious quilt show champion—is found dead in her store, crushed under a toppled tower of layer cake stacks. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Lily notices the fabric stacks have been deliberately unbalanced and the victim's quilt contest entries contain suspiciously similar patterns to other quilters' work. With her shop temporarily closed and the quilting community divided, Lily must peel back the layers of this fabric-filled mystery. Assisted by her cutting crew and the handsome textile analyst examining print patterns, Lily uncovers a scheme involving pattern plagiarism, stolen quilt designs, and a sophisticated operation copying award-winning quilts. From suspicious print rotations that reveal intentional mirroring to color placements that match other quilters' work too closely, every stacked layer tells a story. But when Lily discovers the victim was systematically entering copied quilts in competitions under different names, she realizes the killer is protecting creative integrity more valuable than any blue ribbon. With the national quilt competition approaching and the real copycat still stacking deception, Lily must sort through the evidence before her own reputation gets permanently layered under suspicion.
