Teaser Tuesday 266: Cross Stitch Before Dying

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by Jenn of A Daily Rhythm. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

* Grab your current book or recent read.
* Share a few "teaser" sentences from somewhere in the book.
* BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (Make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away. You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
* Share the title and author so that other participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teaser!



This week’s teaser comes from Cross Stitch Before Dying by Amanda Lee, a cozy mystery set in a small town in Oregon.



Suddenly, I heard the shots. They sounded no louder than firecrackers being discharged. Bam! Bam! Bam! Then silence.

(Chapter One)









ABOUT THE BOOK:
Series: An Embroidery Mystery #6

Marcy’s mom, Beverly, is the costume designer for a lavish Bollywood-style production, and someone suggests Tallulah Falls as a great place to shoot part of the film. Everyone at the embroidery shop and around town is in a flutter that a glamorous movie production is taking place in their midst. But when the star of the film is found murdered, the police suspect Marcy’s mom, who made it no secret she did not care for the diva’s attitude.

Marcy might as well issue an open call for suspects, because the star had a long list of enemies. To save her mom’s career and keep her from accessorizing with handcuffs, Marcy and her friends will need to stitch together the clues to catch one craft killer, who may have designs on Marcy next . . . .
