All of Cora Chevalierโs dreams are coming true. Since moving to Indigo Gap, North Carolina, the busy crafting maven has been blessed with a great boyfriend, a lovely home, and a booming craft retreat business. But on the eve of her first Crafty Momโs Escape Weekend, tragedy strikes again in Indigo Gap. This time, itโs curtains for Stan Herald, the disagreeable director of the local theater group, whoโs murdered on the opening night of their new production. Worse, Coraโs friend Zee is accused of the crime.
Cora is determined to prove her friendโs innocence, but Zeeโs mysterious past is making that difficult. And with a list of suspects longer than a double spool of satin cording, getting a bead on the real culprit wonโt be easy. With her friends Jane and Ruby at her side, Cora must string together the clues and solve Stanโs murder before the killer gives an encore performance.
Includes crafting tips!
