After the local museum hosts an exhibit of valuable textiles, Marcy finds a wanted art thief, Professor Geoffrey Vandehey, dead in the alley behind her shop. To make matters worse, the museum was robbed, and the professors body is rolled up inside a valuable Kilim rug. Special Agent Brown, from the FBI, shows up quickly and tries to take over the case from the local police.

As Marcy and Ted compile a list of suspects who could have motive to kill Dr. Vandehey, it seems they'll never be able to tie up all the loose ends that connect a killer to the victim, or figure out all the why's.

This was the first book in An Embroidery Mystery series that I've read. Author, Amanda Lee, skillfully had me convinced I knew who the murderer was, only to find those clues led to a dead end! There is welcome levity throughout the storyline. The cast of characters are well developed, and you either love them or hate them! The romance between Marcy and Ted is very real and appealing. If you're like me, you'll be surprised, beyond a thread of a doubt, who the 'bad guy' turns out to be, and the reasons behind the whole set of circumstances. Excellent read!!
