A fashion influencer is found dead at the biggest sewing festival of the year… and someone’s trying to pin it on the wrong person.

When Dr. Snow Hiver left behind her career as a forensic psychologist, she thought she was done with crime scenes and cold cases. These days, her biggest worries involve bobbin tension and blog content—until a glamorous designer turns up dead at Buttonhole Bay’s beloved Festival of Threads.

Worse still, all signs point to Snow.

With her reputation unraveling faster than a cheap hem, Snow reluctantly teams up with no-nonsense Detective Noakes to clear her name. But as they dig deeper, they uncover a pattern of plagiarism, sabotage, and long-held grudges stitched into the town’s tight-knit creative community.

And just when Snow thinks she’s pieced things together… a second body drops.

If she doesn’t solve the mystery soon, she may be the next name in the obituaries—and not even her signature topstitching will save her.
