      About This Book

      THE THREADS THAT LEAD TO MURDER
      The beautiful handmade quilt Faith Sibley Fairchild buys at an estate auction promises to liven up her deathly dull vacation on Maine's Sanpere Island.

      THE OLD MAID'S PUZZLE
      Lovingly constructed by wealthy, deceased and detested Matilda Prescott, Faith's purchase turns out to be quite a bargain indeed--especially when she discovers it to be a map to the old woman's hidden treasure.

      SEEK AND YE SHALL FIND
      But instead of pointing the transplanted New York caterer turned-minister's-wife toward the fabled Prescott gold, Matilda's artfully crafted clues lead Faith to a kelp-covered corpse floating in a nearby tidal pool--ensnaring the endangered amateur sleuth in the twisted, lethal threads of familial greed and cold-blooded murder.
