Have just started Stitch Me Deadly by Amanda Lee (aka Gayle Trent), book two of her "embroidery" mystery series. I am only about 50 pages in, so this teaser is from early in the novel.
She leaned forward as if to retrieve her tea and collapsed onto the floor.
I dropped to my knees beside her.
(pg 4)
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Book 1: The Quick and the Thread (2011)
Book 2: Stitch Me Deadly (2011)
Book 3: Thread Reckoning (2011)
Book 4: The Long Stitch Goodnight (2012)
Marcy [Singer] is the proud owner of the Seven year Stitch, an embroidery specialty shop in the sweet small town of Tallulah Falls, Oregon. Her best friend, Sadie, owns the coffee shop down the street, and her Irish wolfhound, Angus, is practically the shop’s mascot. But trouble strikes when an elderly woman brings an antique piece of embroidery to Marcy. . .and promptly dies of unnatural causes.
Marcy is convinced that the antique sampler holds a clue to an even older crime and that somebody may have killed to hide it. Now it’s up to Marcy and her pals—two-legged and four-legged—to unravel this mystery.

That's not the sort of thing you want to happen during a nice cup of tea. I love the titles from this series. They're very clever.
Oh no... did she die? Great suspense...
Shelley: No, not the sort of thing you'd want to happen any time. I also like the clever titles in this series.
Tania: Ah, ah, ah...that would be telling. ;-D
What happened!? My teaser comes from The Three Musketeers.
Hopefully the tea wasn't poisoned! Fun teaser...thanks for sharing.
My Teaser is here.
Beth: Ah, that is the question, isn't it? *g*
Irish: One can only hope. *VBG*
Wow! I read the first book in the series awhile back, so now I must read this one! I really enjoyed The Quick and the Thread.
Thanks for reminding me that there are more books in this series.
Here's MY TUESDAY MEMES POST
Laurel-Rain: Happy to remind you about this series. I missed book three when it came out, and now book four will be out next week. It can be a bit difficult keeping up with series!
Talk about a cozy! All this sweet hearth and home mixed in with murder. Interesting.
Love your teaser! This sounds like a book I'd love for so many reasons: I enjoy cozies, I live in the Pacific Northwest, and embroidery is one of my crafts!
Thanks for posting a comment on my I.O.U. Sex blog.
An intriguing teaser!

Who knew there was so much suspense in embroidery!
Karen: Indeed, needlework can be quite suspenseful, particularly from the very first stitch to that point it finally looks like something. ;-)
