A Crafter Quilts a Crime Recipe & Giveaway

I'm happy to turn over the blog today to Holly Quinn. Holly writes the Handcrafted Mystery series. A Crafter Quilts a Crime is the third book in the series and will be released next week.

Today I want to share one of Sammy’s favorite recipes that she prepares on a cold WI morning. Ellie and Heidi might happen to be hanging around on such mornings, as it’s a Sammy specialty. Especially when snowed in, or the S.H.E. gang is brainstorming for clues. You can find this recipe and more in the back of the book titled: A Crafter Quilts a Crime.

A Crafter Quilts a Crime: A Handcrafted Mystery  

Cozy Mystery 3rd in Series  

Publisher: Crooked Lane Books (February 11, 2020)  

Hardcover

Perfect for fans of Betty Hechtman and Maggie Sefton, Holly Quinn's third Handcrafted mystery aspires to wrap you in its warmth.

Community Craft proprietor Sammy Kane must piece together a patchwork of clues when a "live" mannequin ends up stone-cold dead.

Snowcapped pines and glittery dusted sidewalks adorn tranquil Heartsford, Wisconsin, while residents cuddle beneath heirloom quilts in front of cozy wood fires. But come the next day, the below-zero temperatures won't keep the locals away from Heartsford's annual Fire & Ice event. To boost customer traffic at Community Craft's one-night-only sale, Samantha "Sammy" Kane persuades a few of the craftspeople who sell their wares at the store to participate in a live mannequin window display contest.

Local quilter Wanda Wadsworth emerges as a favorite to win the contest, as she manages to not move a muscle for an unusual amount of time. Onlookers outside the window try everything to get her to crack--tapping on the glass and making funny faces--but nothing disrupts Wanda's stillness. When the eagle-eyed spectators realize Wanda isn't breathing, a blanket of grief and fear descends upon the wintry town.

Detective Liam Nash can't seem to piece the clues together. Fortunately, Sammy's cousin, Heidi, and her sister, Ellie, are on hand to reconvene their detective team, S.H.E. They set out to solve Wanda's untimely death before the case grows as icy as a sub-zero Wisconsin winter. But they are all too aware that the killer is too close for comfort.
