Hanging by a thread
(Book)

"After setting up a small sewing studio in quaint Hideaway Grove, Abbey Chandler is focused on finding crafty, creative ideas to build up her clientele. But murder can be bad for business... Some of the independent shops in this sleepy town are barely hanging on financially--and that includes Sarah's Sweets, Abbey's aunt's bakery. The shop's advantage--aside from the deliciousness of its products--is the fact that it's the only bakery in the area. But it looks like that's about to change. The second wife of a wealthy businessman wants her own bakery--and money is no object. When murder unravels the plans for the competing shop, Aunt Sarah is an immediate suspect--and Hideaway Grove's merchants are on pins and needles about a big upcoming women's conference, fearing the organization will cancel their booking because of the crime. Abbey's doing her best to stay optimistic and stitch some custom tote bags for the attendees, but she's also concerned with patching up Aunt Sarah's good reputation. And when it comes to sorting through the possible motives of the victim's family members and associates, she's got a few tricks up her sleeve..."--,from dust jacket.
