    There is something about the number 3.    
     
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
     
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
     
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

    “Five Stars! The tale immediately drew me in, into the town, into the intriguing mystery, and into the people. A real treat to read." ~Deb, Amazon Hall of Fame Top 100 Reviewer 
    Laurel Falls, N.C., 1985: I was done with being a crime reporter in Washington, D.C., tired of all the violence. So I packed up and moved to the small town of Laurel Falls, N.C. It looked like heaven to me—ancient mountains brimming with tall trees and songbirds, peace and quiet. Until I found the body. 
    The sheriff took the easy path, calling it a suicide. No way. I’d found that young woman, and I just knew she hadn’t taken her own life. I’d spent my whole career searching for the truth, and I wasn’t about to stop now. Trouble was, without my usual sources, how much of a murder investigation could I pull off? 
    But a special kid lived next door. Abit Bradshaw, a teenager struggling to find his rightful place in the world. Hey, I knew all about that. I’d never fitted in either, but eventually I’d found something I was good at. I figured he just needed a chance too. 
    And he got one when we teamed up to solve that crime. Along the way, we sure met some interesting characters—both bad and good. We had a plan, and we worked it hard to find that killer before we became the next victims. 
    Looking back, I should’ve known plans rarely pan out the way you think. ~Della Kincaid 
    If you love Jacqueline Winspear, Sue Grafton, and Cheryl Bradshaw (no relation to Abit Bradshaw that we know of), you're sure to enjoy the Appalachian Mountain Mysteries series. 
    Get it now—for the rich natural setting, colorful characters, and suspenseful investigations.

    ✂️ Vintage sewing tool expert and restoration specialist Ripley Stitch is curating a historical sewing implements exhibit when the exhibit's major donor—a ruthless fashion historian—is found dead in her workshop, an antique seam ripper mysteriously embedded in a priceless Victorian gown. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Ripley notices the ripper's blade shows modern sharpening marks and the damaged gown reveals hidden layers of fabric that tell a different story. With her restoration business under scrutiny and the textile community in an uproar, Ripley must carefully unpick the layers of deception. Assisted by her conservation colleagues and the handsome textile analyst examining fabric degradation, Ripley uncovers a scheme involving garment forgery, stolen historical costumes, and a sophisticated operation altering museum-quality pieces. From suspicious stitch removal patterns that reveal multiple handlers to fabric fading that doesn't match the era, every torn thread tells a story. But when Ripley discovers the victim was systematically "authenticating" forged historical garments for insurance fraud, she realizes the killer is protecting a fashion legacy more valuable than any single piece. With the exhibit opening imminent and the real forger still cutting corners, Ripley must stitch together the evidence before her own reputation gets permanently torn apart.
