  🪡 Cross-stitch shop owner and sampler expert Xandra Stitch is preparing for the National Needlework Exhibition when the head judge—a notoriously harsh critic—is found dead in her shop, a rare antique needle protruding from a priceless historical sampler. The police suspect a crime of passion, but Xandra notices the cross-stitches in the sampler have been altered to form a coded message and the victim's critique notes contain hidden patterns. With her shop's reputation hanging by a thread and the needlework world watching, Xandra must cross-stitch her way through the investigation. Assisted by her stitching circle and the handsome museum curator authenticating the sampler, Xandra uncovers a scheme involving forged historical samplers, stolen embroidery patterns, and a black market for antique needlework. From suspicious floss colors that don't match the period to stitch tension that reveals multiple crafters, every X tells a story. But when Xandra discovers the victim was systematically discrediting authentic samplers to devalue them for a collector's scheme, she realizes the killer is protecting a textile legacy more intricate than any embroidery. With the exhibition opening soon and the real culprit still stitching deception, Xandra must unravel this tangled thread before her own design gets permanently frogged.

  To help save her family’s floundering Colorado bookstore, Starlit Bookshop, newly-minted Ph.D. Emma Starrs agrees to plan a mystery-themed dinner party for her wealthy, well-connected high school classmate Tabitha Baxter. It’s a delightful evening of cocktails and conjecture until Tabitha’s husband, Tip—hosting the affair in the guise of Edgar Allan Poe’s detective C. Auguste Dupin—winds up murdered. In a heartbeat, Emma and her aunt Nora, a famous mystery writer, become suspects. Emma is sure the party’s over for Starlit events, until celebrated author Calliope Nightfall, whose gothic sensibilities are intrigued by the circumstances, implores the bookseller to create a Poe-themed launch event for her latest tome. Throwing a bash to die for while searching for additional clues is already enough to drive Emma stark raven mad, but another shocking crime soon reveals that Silvercrest has not yet reached the final chapter of the puzzling case. Someone in this charming artistic community has murder on the mind, and if Emma cannot outwit the killer, she and her beloved aunt will land behind bars, to walk free nevermore.

  Maybe this is a ghost story . . . 
   
   
   
  Andrew Larimer has left his past behind. Rising up the ranks in a New York law firm, and with a heavily pregnant wife, he is settling into a new life far from Kingsport, the town in which he grew up. But when he receives a late-night phone call from an old friend, he has no choice but to return home. 
   
   
   
  Coming home means returning to his late father's house, which has seen better days. It means lying to his wife. But it also means reuniting with his friends: Eric, now the town's sheriff; Dale, a real-estate mogul living in the shadow of a failed career; his childhood sweetheart Tig who never could escape town; and poor Meach, whose ravings about a curse upon the group have driven him to drugs and alcohol. 
   
   
   
  Together, the five friends will have to confront the memories—and the horror—of a night, years ago, that changed everything for them. 
   
   
   
  Because Andrew and his friends have a secret. A thing they have kept to themselves for twenty years. Something no one else should know. But the past is not dead, and Kingsport is a town with secrets of its own. 
   
   
   
  One dark secret . . . 
   
   
   
  One small-town horror . . .
