Crooked Quilt Mysteries: Books 1-3
(2024)(A book in the Crooked Quilt Mystery series)
An omnibus of novels by Mel Morgan
Murders don't always follow a pattern...
A fun collection of the first three books in the Crooked Quilt Mysteries series, including Quilty as Charged, Jailhouse Stitch, and Seams Like Trouble.
Quilty as Charged
When police sketch artist Marla Larson agrees to manage the family quilt shop, the arrangement is temporary. Marla’s no quilter—but she doesn’t mind coming home to Crooked Falls, Minnesota, where the people are politely nosy and the pines reach the starry sky.
Marla never expected to find a dead guy in the shop, and with her ex working as the new chief of police, the investigation gets complicated. Add two bug-eating cats and three cantankerous customers, and Marla will have all the help she wants to get the job done.
How will Marla manage both Crooked Quilts and solving a crime? What will happen when someone in town turns out to be quilty as charged?
Jailhouse Stitch
Joining a quilt class at the local jail is Marla Larson’s way of learning to sew, and all three Quilt Ladies are thrilled to have her along for the ride.
But the calm unravels quickly when Marla is approached by an inmate with a secret dangerous enough to kill for, leaving Marla and her friends with more questions than answers about the crime. With her sister back in town and Chief Price watching her every move, Marla is doing her best to solve this one by following the rules.
What will happen after she’s drawn deeper into the case while piecing her own life together? Can Marla trust a jailhouse stitch?
Seams Like Trouble
Marla Larson is settling in at Crooked Quilts and business has never been better. With a visit from a famous fabric designer planned, everyone is excited to see her newest quilting prints. But the designer also brings tragedy to town, in the form of another murder. Only Marla will see through the layer of lies to the truth sandwiched beneath. Who is guilty of this vicious crime? And where will Marla turn when the designer’s visit seams like trouble?
