The Button Jar Alibi

Nora Vale knows how to rescue a worn coat. Starting over is another matter.

After her museum job disappears, Nora returns to Wren Harbor, Massachusetts, to take over her aunts notions shop. A craft festival should introduce Noras mending business to the neighborhood. Instead, she finds the heritage trusts chairman dead—and a much-loved quilt becomes the center of a very public accusation.

An unpaid carpenter, an evasive nephew, a quilt-maker guarding a family secret, and a relentlessly helpful treasurer all have something to explain. Noras eye for fabric and misplaced details uncovers a pattern that runs far beyond the sewing room. But her first accusation threatens an innocent neighbor and the friendships she came home to rebuild.

With gossip tightening around her shop, Nora must follow the stitches, check the records, and find the one story that simply doesnt fit.

The Button Jar Alibi opens The Button Jar Mysteries: a gentle, standalone cozy with a seaside community, a safe shop cat, and a complete, satisfying solution.
