Sinopse

From a British Golden Age author “in a class by himself among detective story writers,” Sir John Appleby solves an art world crime (The Times Literary Supplement). 
 
When Sir John Appleby is persuaded by Lady Appleby to attend an art exhibit, he believes he is only appeasing his wife, a sculptress herself, and quite the art collector, too. But when Appleby learns the show is a memorial exhibition for recently murdered artist Gavin Limbert, his interest is piqued, to say the least. Especially when Limbert’s latest masterpiece is stolen from the gallery right under his nose. But this is no matter for Scotland Yard’s most brilliant inspector. Once Appleby puts his clever mind to the case, he’ll follow every twist and turn in this mystery until he uncovers the astonishing truth. 
 
Praise for Michael Innes and the Inspector Appleby series

    🧵 Vintage sewing machine repair shop owner and mechanic Stella Stitch is preparing for the annual Quilt Show when the show's wealthy patron—a notorious fast-fashion mogul—is found dead in her workshop, electrocuted by a sabotaged antique sewing machine from her own collection. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Stella notices the machine has been deliberately rewired and the victim's final garment contains hidden messages in the stitching patterns. With her repair business under investigation and the sewing community divided, Stella must thread together an investigation as complex as a sewing machine's inner workings. Assisted by her sewing guild and the handsome electrical engineer who admires her vintage machine collection, Stella uncovers a scheme involving machine theft, industrial espionage, and a plot to destroy small sewing businesses. From suspicious bobbin tension that reveals tampering to stitch patterns that don't match the machine's capabilities, every mechanical detail tells a story. But when Stella discovers the victim was systematically putting local tailors out of business to acquire their vintage machine collections, she realizes the killer is protecting a community more tightly woven than any fabric. With the quilt show approaching and the real saboteur still operating, Stella must piece together the truth before her own machine gets permanently unplugged.

    When life gives you magic, murder charges, and mood swings—just add a dash of chaos. 
    I expected pregnancy to come with weird cravings and swollen ankles—not an arrest warrant and a murder mystery. But hey, there you have it. 
    Marcus has been accused of killing a wereape from the New York pack, and the Gray Council authorities are ready to drag him to prison. But they’ve got the wrong guy, and I’ll do whatever it takes to prove it—even if it means confronting a killer, fending off cranky marshals, and dealing with magic that seems determined to betray me at the worst moments. 
    With my aunts at my side and my unpredictable powers fueled by my unborn kid, I’m diving headfirst into a tangled web of secrets, lies, and deadly magic. 
    The deeper I dig, the more I realize this isn’t just about clearing Marcus’s name. It’s about keeping my growing family safe.
