Praise for Seams Deadly:“Details of fabric and sewing frame the story of a woman who has lost everything and is trying to find her place in the world.”—Booklist“With a special appeal to readers with an interest in craft/hobby themed cozy mysteries.”—Midwest Book Review“Sewing can be deadly in Maggie Bailey’s superlative debut cozy.”—Gumshoe Review“Enjoyable, and fun to read.”—Red Carpet Crash“Seams Deadly is packed with all the right ingredients for this delightful new series: a lovable, talented heroine who sews her own clothes (and rescues a memorable ‘velociraptor’ cat); a charming small town filled with quirky characters; and a mystery that will keep you guessing.”—Sally Goldenbaum, USA Today best selling author of the Seaside Knitters Society Mystery series“Readers will love Lydia, a woman who can sew her own clothes while stitching together clues for murder. Add a charming southern town with a few quirky residents and you have a cozy mystery to die for!”—Emmie Caldwell, national bestselling author of The Craft Fair Knitters Mysteries“Small-town Southern charm with a wonderfully authentic sleuth to love and root for.”—Melissa Bourbon, national bestselling author of the Magical Dressmaking Mysteries“A binge worthy whodunnit stitched to perfection!”—Holly Quinn, author of The Handcrafted Mysteries “Recently divorced Lydia Barnes is making a new start in a small town, working at a quilting shop by day and sewing her own clothing by night. After an awkward first date with her neighbor ends in a fist bump, she brings him some brownies, only to find him dead at his desk, fabric shears sticking out of his neck. With police suspicion on her, it’s up to Lydia to find the culprit amongst her new neighbors before she’s the next victim. What a fun, cozy read, and a promising start to a fabric arts-themed series! The story is peppered with names of indie pattern companies and patterns they produce, as well as descriptions of sewing techniques and supplies, which made me extremely happy as a fellow sewist. By the end of this book, I was ready to start solving murders, but only after I finished sewing a murder-solving dress.” —Rachel Copeland, Boswell Book Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
