Welcome to Litsy!

The latest mystery in this charming mystery series finds the ever-resourceful Kath Rutledge and shop ghost Geneva tangled up in an embroidery rivalry�and a murder. Yarn shop owner Kath Rutledge is looking forward to the grand opening of the Blue Plum Vault, a co-op of small shops on Main Street. But in the week before the grand opening, Kath and her needlework group, TGIF (Thank Goodness It�s Fiber), hear rumors of an unpleasant rivalry developing between two of the new shopkeepers. Nervie Bales and Belinda Moyer declare each other�s embroidery patterns and antique embroidered linens fakes, copies�and stolen goods. Kath is caught in the middle when she�s asked to use her textile expertise to decide if there�s any truth to the accusations. Then, the day before the grand opening, an exquisite tablecloth that Kath has fallen in love with�the pride of Belinda�s shop�is found cut to shreds. Belinda accuses Nervie of the outrage, but Nervie has an airtight alibi: she was at Kath�s shop, the Weaver�s Cat, teaching a crewel embroidery class. Despite worries over the rivalry and vandalism, the opening is a success�until Belinda is found dead, stabbed in the back with a pair of scissors from the Weaver�s Cat. Geneva, the ghost who haunts Kath�s store, claims she saw the murderer leaving the scene of the crime. But the ghost is the ultimate unreliable witness�only Kath and her shop manager can see or hear her. That means it�s up to Kath, TGIF, and especially Geneva the ghost to solve the crime before the killer cuts another life short.
