When a priceless antique is stolen, murder unravels the peaceful seaside
town of Haven Harbor, Maine. . .
Angie Curtis and her fellow Mainely Needlepointers know how to enjoy
their holidays. But nothing grabs their attention like tying up loose
threads. So when Mary Clough drops in on the group's Fourth of July
supper with a question about an antique needlepoint she's discovered in
her family attic, Angie and her ravelers are happy to look into the
matter.
Angie's best guess is that the mystery piece may have been stitched by
Mary, Queen of Scots, famous not just for losing her head, but also for
her needlepointing. If Angie's right, the piece would be extremely
valuable. For safekeeping, Angie turns the piece over to her family
lawyer, who places it in a safe in her office. But when the lawyer is
found dead with the safe open and ransacked, the real mystery begins. .
