Pleats & Poison HC: A Craft and Ghost Cozy Mystery

Enjoy this humorous, small-town, psychic, cozy mystery by best-selling and award-winning Lucinda Race.

Claudia Grant didn't want to talk to another ghost or two-and she definitely didn't want to investigate a murder.

Hosting Thanksgiving dinner for seven guests-and one ghost-is all in a day's work for Claudia Grant. Between whipping up her famous mac and cheese and debuting her boutique's latest fall fashion, Claudia's ready to impress her visiting mom and stylish grandmother. Her cozy coastal town of Drakes Bay is the perfect backdrop for family, food, and fresh starts-especially when Gram falls in love with a pleated skirt and sweater ensemble from Claudia's shop.

But when a spilled glass of orange juice leads to a shocking discovery-a guest at the neighboring Whistlers Inn is found dead, and the very same pleated skirt wrapped around her neck-Claudia's holiday cheer unravels fast.

Now, with her best friend Beth and a ghostly sidekick in tow, Claudia must piece together a tangled mystery before the killer skips town... and before the secrets hidden in the folds come back to haunt them all.

She'd rather be sewing hemlines than following clues-but if Claudia can't stitch together the truth in time, someone else might be the next to check out... permanently.

Pleats & Poison is the third book in the A Dress Designer Cozy Mystery series from award-winning author Lucinda Race. Cozy up, settle in, and prepare to be haunted... in the best possible way!
