    🧵 Master weaver and textile historian Elara Threadgoode is thrilled when her small town wins the bid to host a prestigious medieval tapestry exhibition. But when the lead curator is found dead, strangled with a rare golden thread from the exhibition's centerpiece tapestry, Elara's expertise becomes crucial to the investigation.

But as Elara gets closer to the truth, the killer begins weaving a deadly pattern of their own—and Elara might become the final piece in their treacherous design.
