Death by Buttonhole

A Button Belles Mystery

By: Tessa Quilby

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

In the quaint town of Buttonwood, Vermont, buttons are more than fashion—they’re secrets sewn into history.

When Lydia Wren and her close-knit group of friends—the Button Belles—take a tour of the legendary Bramble & Stitch button factory, they expect nothing more than antique brooches and a bit of button trivia. But when they discover the body of the factory’s longest-serving employee in the dusty vault, their hobby turns deadly.

As the Button Belles dig deeper, they uncover whispers of a long-buried World War II intelligence project, coded buttons, and a local scandal buried under decades of fabric and fear. With clues stitched into heirlooms, lies embroidered into family legacies, and a killer still lurking, Lydia and her friends must follow the thread before history repeats itself.

Part cozy mystery, part historical espionage thriller, Death by Buttonhole is a story of secrets, sisterhood, and the power of truth—even when it’s sewn shut. If you love clever women sleuths, small-town intrigue, and a dash of vintage style, this first installment in the Button Belles Mystery series is for you.

🧵 Unravel the mystery. Sew the truth back together.

Virtual Narrator Ruins it

I started and struggled with the narrator and then realized it was virtual. I couldn't continue it was such a distraction from the story.
