Last Wool and Testament, A Haunted Yarn Shop Mystery
available for pre-order from your locally owned
independent bookstore, Barnes & Noble, or Amazon
Last Wool and Testament is the first in my new, light paranormal,
mystery series for Penguin starring Kath Rutledge. Kath is a textile
preservation specialist who inherits her grandmother's fiber and fabric
shop in Blue Plum, Tennessee, and ends up with a depressed ghost
on her hands. I like to think it's the series that puts the woo-woo in
the wool.
Release date - September 4, 2012
Reviews for Lawn Order
"Murder with a dose of drollery . . . Margaret,
the independent-bookstore-owner-sleuth, entertains
us as much as Nero Wolf's smart aleck sidekick,
Archie Goodwin."
