One Sharp Stitch: A Nimble Needle Mystery by Allie Pleiter is a cozy mystery you don’t want to miss. Shelby Phillips returns to her hometown outside of Asheville, North Carolina when her graphics art career goes sideways. She reluctantly agrees to run her mom’s Nimble Needle needlepoint shop for a few months while figuring out her life. While hosting a trunk show she finds a local vendor, Kat Katsaros, dead in her traveling sharpening van. The question she is pondering is “Was it an accident or something worse?”
This was wonderful cozy mystery and the great start to a new series. Shelby is an endearing character who is still figuring out her life and working in her parent’s needle point shop in her hometown was not part of her life plan. I appreciated the relational aspect of the story watching Shelby connect with the ladies in the shop, her sister, and make new friends in the town of Gwen Lake which is filled with colorful characters. There were many funny parts that kept the book not too heavy. This story has several twists and turns that kept me engaged and wondering how it would end.
One Sharp Stitch by Allie Pleiter is a great cozy mystery. I highly enjoyed and can not wait to read the second book in the series. I highly recommend.
