 One Sharp Stitch by Allie Pleiter

G👀dreads

When thirty-something Shelby Phillips returns to her quiet hometown just outside of Asheville, North Carolina, she reluctantly takes over her mother’s Nimble Needle needlepoint shop—and gets entangled in a murder investigation . . .

It’s only temporary. That’s what Shelby Phillips tells herself when she returns to excruciatingly harmless Gwen Lake after her graphic arts career—and the office romance blooming with it—get tossed like rejected design mockups. Her plan is as simple and fool-proof as a tent manage the family needlepoint shop during her parents’ RV vacation. It’s just a month. It’s not as if they’re retiring . . . right?

Genre: Cozy Mystery, Contemporary Fiction

Could be fun.  Could be a bomb. I'll let you know! 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Cute little cozy mystery, even though cozy isn't usually my thing. Nothing earth shattering but enough to keep me listening and nothing specifically to deduct for. Definitely not something to spend much brain power on trying to figure out. Typical with leaning on a character trying to make you think you know who-done-it, but I don't fall for that. Easy on the ears while focusing on marking and cutting shelf liner.
I listened on 1.5 speed while I was working in the kitchen so basically, it was a quickie.

The Woman with the Cure   by Lynn Cullen  G👀dreads In 1940s and ’50s America, polio is as dreaded as the atomic bomb.

G👀dreads EVERWOOD FALLS… a small supernatural community tucked up in the Colorado Rockies where witches, werewolves and vampires can live without fear of discovery, and those with curses they can’t control are sent to keep the existence of magic from being revealed to Mundanes.
