Blurb: Marcy can't wait to see the new exhibit on antique tapestries at the Tallulah Falls Museum, including beautiful kilim rugs. But her enthusiasm quickly turns to alarm when, the day after the exhibition opens, she discovers a dead body behind her store, the Seven-Year Stitch, wrapped up in a most unusual fashion.

The victim appears to be a visiting art professor for the exhibit. Did someone decide to teach the professor a lesson, then attempt to sweep the evidence under the rug? Along with her boyfriend, Detective Ted Nash, Marcy must unravel an intricate tapestry of deception to find a desperate killer.

Review: Thread End is my introduction to the Embroidery Series, so I wasn't sure what to expect of the book. What I found was a nice, comfortable book to read. There is murder, yes. There is a mystery, naturally. However, what drew me the most is that there isn't unnecessary violence and "language".

There may be readers for whom this book may not be edgy or gritty enough and that is okay. (I like to read edgy and gritty books myself.) Everyone has their favorites.

I liked the (no pun intended) blend of mystery, crafting, and characters. All of those details make for a great relaxing read and I look forward to reading more of Ms. Lee's Embroidery Series in the future.

Book received from the author for review.
