  What links the murder of seventeen-year-old Helen Carstairs in 1954 to the murder, over thirty years earlier, of Private Rodney Purbright?The tragic story of two sisters, one pretty, one plain, is key to both murders. The Rowan sisters are bound together by a secret they must keep, and their reclusive behaviour plants suspicion in the minds of their neighbours, who regard them as ‘witches’. Dispensing herbal remedies and keeping a mangy black cat add to their air of mystery and seem to bear out the rumours.It doesn’t take the police long to arrest and charge Helen’s father of her murder. Henry Carstairs is also accused of incest by her best friend and of being the father of his daughter’s unborn baby. According to Inspector Craddock, it is an open-and-shut case, especially when the murder weapon turns out to have Carstairs’ fingerprints on it.But things are never as simple as they seem in the world of Reverend Bernard Paltoquet and his friend Dr Robbie MacTavish who, although taking a backseat in this novel, are watching events unfold with interest and have theories of their own.

  🧵 Quilt shop owner and fabric cutter Cora Cutwell is hosting a fat quarter frenzy sale when the store's most demanding customer—a notorious fabric hoarder—is found dead in her shop, buried under a collapsed display of premium fat quarters. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Cora notices the fabric bolts have been deliberately cut to weaken the display and the victim's purchase history shows suspicious patterns of fabric accumulation. With her shop temporarily closed and the quilting community in an uproar, Cora must measure up as an investigator. Assisted by her cutting team and the handsome textile engineer analyzing fabric stress points, Cora uncovers a scheme involving short-measured fabric, counterfeit designer prints, and a black market for stolen quilt shop inventory. From suspicious cutting patterns that reveal intentional waste to selvage edges that don't match manufacturer specifications, every quarter yard tells a story. But when Cora discovers the victim was systematically reselling stolen fat quarters online at inflated prices, she realizes the killer is protecting small quilt shops from a fabric fencing operation. With the annual quilt show approaching and the real thief still cutting corners, Cora must square away the evidence before her own business gets permanently cut from the bolt.

We're more like sisters than roommates. Even if Kitty is gone.     At Glennmare, each bed is filled with a teenage girl who wears ribbons in her hair, a nod to innocence we lost long ago. When we were sent out into the world, away from home, to fend to for ourselves.     If we start telling the truth about what happened that night we might just break down. What could we say about our twenty-five-year-old teacher who quotes obscure poetry and works in the stables, but who understands each of us so perfectly?     We are teenage girls with the belief in a power other people don't understand. The power of hands held tight and secrets whispered in the dead of night.     But why isn't she back yet? Kitty should be back by now, shouldn't she?     Perfect for fans of The Secret History and books by Monica Murphy, Keri Lake, Vera Kurian and Roxy Sloane.
