Welcome to Litsy!

Shannon McClain has been mourning since the tragic death of her husband three years ago. With two children to raise and her money running out, she receives a mysterious letter from the United States, informing her she has just two weeks to claim a large inheritance-- part of which is a fortune in jewels that can only be found by solving cryptic clues stitched into a needlepoint by her late grandmother. Shannon uses the last of her late husband's insurance money to travel with her best friend Coleen from their small village in Scotland to a quaint town in the northwestern United States. But right before they are to leave, she finds a threatening note nailed to her door, written in red ink. "Stay away from Apple Grove... or else," it warns.
