  Sometimes a novel idea can turn out to be a bad one. 
   
   
   
  Sally Simmons was rather misunderstood in the small town of Whitby, North Carolina. An awkward woman with a sly countenance, she became a regular at the library, spending a good deal of time scribbling in a notebook and staring vacantly off into space. 
   
   
   
  It turned out, to everyone's surprise, that Sally had been industriously penning a novel. To their greater surprise, it became something of a sensation, even landing itself on the bestseller lists. 
   
   
   
  Since much of the novel had been written within the hallowed walls of the Whitby Library, reference librarian Ann and other staff members decide to hold an event to celebrate Sally’s accomplishment and learn more about her book. 
   
   
   
  Sadly, it soon becomes evident that Sally's book was inspired by actual residents of Whitby—and that she concealed their identities poorly. 
   
   
   
  When Sally meets an unfortunate demise, it's up to Ann to figure out the killer so the police can throw the book at him.

  But Amy's been falsely accused, and Sam, who's still in love with her, can't bear to watch her take the fall for a crime she didn't commit.

  As Sam and Amy pull the threads of the alleged crime, they begin to unravel a mysterious corporate conspiracy that runs deep and wide. But as the clock ticks faster each day, the chance to prove Amy's innocence and keep her out of jail begins to slip away. 
   
   
   
  Sam and Amy keep inching closer to the truth, but each step draws them closer to shadowy enemies and amplifies the heat between them.

  🧵 Antique pincushion collector and textile historian Penny Pincher is hosting a pincushion exhibit at her vintage shop when the exhibit's wealthy lender—a notorious collector with sharp business practices—is found dead in her store, a rare Victorian pincushion pin mysteriously lodged in his neck. The police suspect a bizarre accident, but Penny notices the pincushion's stuffing contains modern materials and the victim's collection ledger shows suspicious acquisition dates. With her shop closed for investigation and the collecting community buzzing, Penny must stick to the facts to solve this pointed mystery. Assisted by her antique dealer friends and the handsome museum conservator analyzing textile artifacts, Penny uncovers a scheme involving pincushion forgery, stolen textile artifacts, and a black market for antique sewing tools. From suspicious embroidery patterns that don't match the era to fabric wear that reveals artificial aging, every pin mark tells a story. But when Penny discovers the victim was systematically acquiring museum-quality pieces through questionable means to build a world-class collection, she realizes the killer is protecting a textile heritage more precious than any antique. With the exhibit opening soon and the real culprit still pinning blame elsewhere, Penny must thread the needle of truth before she becomes the next target in this sharp-witted game.
