"There's a new material girl in town...[A} resourceful and gutsy sleuth." -Krista Davis, New York Times bestselling author of the Domestic Diva Mysteries

Unraveling family secrets can be murder...

When Polyester Monroe was young, she loved playing in her family's textile store. But after a fatal tragedy, Land of a Thousand Fabrics was boarded up and Poly never expected to see the inside again. These days her time is spent designing prom dresses from cheap fabrics and covering the flaws with a glue gun.

When her great uncle passes away and leaves her the fabric store, she sees it as a sign to change her life. But when a man connected to her family's tragedy is found dead in the parking lot behind the store the day after she moves in, her illusions of reopening the glamorous fabric store are shredded. Poly pulls at threads to unravel the truth, but can she keep herself out of the fray?

Suede to Rest is the first charming Material Witness cozy mystery. If you like small-town settings, killer textiles, and crafty killers, then you'll love Diane Vallere's fun, fabric-themed series.
