<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Iris Buckley is busier than ever this July, with the town's annual Lobster Festival fast approaching. In just a matter of days her apron shop Ruffles & Bows, will be jam-packed with tourists eager to lay eyes on its world-class collection of aprons and linens--and Iris's inventory is running low. Then, just when all hope seems lost, Iris gets a call from Eleanor Brady, a wealthy, reclusive spinster who just happens to have trunks full of vintage fabrics. Would Iris like to come down to Eleanor's cottage estate Shorehaven and have a look? Before long Iris is on the scene--and on the case. Turns out that Eleanor has rented Shorehaven to the handsome, charismatic environmentalist Dr. Lukas de Wilde and his flock of students. What begins as an apron-scouting endeavor soon morphs into a full-blown murder investigation when Dr. de Wilde's beautiful young teaching assistant turns up dead. Now it's up to Iris--along with her partner-in-love-and-crime Ian Stewart--to unravel the mystery before the Blueberry Cove killer strikes again."--Provided by publisher.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Tragedy strikes </b><b>in <i>Thread and Dead</i>, the second book in Elizabeth Penney's cozy mystery series--and now everyone in Blueberry Cove, Maine, is on pins and needles. . .</b> <p/>Iris Buckley is busier than ever this July, with the town's annual Lobster Festival fast approaching.
