Publisher's Synopsis
"No sooner had the lights come on and Julie blinked everything back into focus when a scream pierced the night. She raced back to the dining room … a dead body lay on the floor. The wrong dead body."
Pattern of Betrayal is the second book in the Vineyard Quilt Mysteries series, a new mystery series from Annie's Publishing created especially for quilters and other crafters who enjoy cozy mysteries. Set at a B&B in a quaint town nestled among the rolling hills of Missouri wine country, Pattern of Betrayal features spunky antiquities bounty hunter-turned-innkeeper, Julie Ellis, and her ever-practical assistant, Hannah Marks.
At the insistence of the inn's eccentric owner, Julie makes preparations to host the Quilt Haus Inn's first ever quilting murder mystery weekend-against her better judgment. The props are set, the scripts are ready, and each guest has a role to play. But when the lights cut out, someone goes off script, and a real dead body takes center stage. Every guest becomes a suspect in the murder and as the clues unfold, it seems they all have something to hide. Can Julie identify the killer before someone else checks out … permanently?
This clever mystery will delight crafty readers who enjoy light-hearted mysteries featuring a lovable cast of quirky characters and small town B&B settings. Quilters and stitchers will especially love the free quilting pattern included in the book.
