The thread on her sleeve didn't belong there.
Fine, faded blue, softer than anything Lila stocks in her shop. She noticed it before the exhibition started, before the historian took the podium, before Dr. Eleanor Whitcombe stopped mid-lecture, reached for her tea, and didn't get back up.
By the time anyone thought to check the display case, the textile fragment Whitcombe had been about to expose was gone.
What Whitcombe knew - and died for - was that the fragment wasn't decorative. It was part of something older. A maritime tapestry, encoded with smuggling routes that aren't just historical. Someone in Seabreeze Cove is still using them. Someone who was in that room. Someone who knew exactly when to move.
Lila has a thread, a stolen textile, a dead historian, and the growing suspicion that the town she chose for a fresh start has been keeping its worst secrets in plain sight.
She also has a cat who sees everything, a best friend who feeds investigations with pastries, and Graham Holt - who is either the person she trusts most in Seabreeze Cove, or the one she should have questioned first.
Purls of Deception is the third Seabreeze Stitchery Mystery - warm, sharp, and stitched through with a pattern Lila isn't sure she's ready to finish reading.
Perfect for fans of:
- Small-town cozy mysteries
- Amateur sleuth heroines
- Seaside settings
