Bound and Tide

A Quilt Shop Dog Cozy Mystery

By: L.W. Franks

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

When Gloria Greyson discovers the body of a beloved quilter floating near the Driftwood Marina pilings on a foggy morning, the police call it an accidental drowning. But Gloria notices details that don't add up — the wrong shoes for a woman who never set foot near the water without rubber soles, and a pair of reading glasses folded too neatly on a dock post. Something happened on that dock, and Gloria isn't buying the official story.

The victim had recently inherited her reclusive aunt's estate, including a stunning mariner's compass quilt that she believed held a hidden secret. Now the quilt is missing, the estate attorney is dodging questions, and an estranged brother has appeared in Patchwork Place for the first time in years. With help from Nora's sharp eye for stitching, Bev's bakery-powered intelligence network, and a seventy-pound sheepdog with an uncanny nose for trouble, Gloria begins pulling threads that someone would rather stay buried.

The third installment in the Patchwork Place Mystery series stitches together small-town charm, a clever puzzle hidden in plain sight, and the warmth of a community that shows up with coffee, casseroles, and just the right question at just the right time. Fans of cozy mysteries with heart, humor, and a little fabric on the side will feel right at home.
