Stitched in Secret: An Alex Allin Cozy Mystery

Gracie Gann

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Alex Allin, historian and quilt shop owner is intrigued when an ornate box appears in her store. Little does she know that the contents of this box will lead her halfway around the world to Istanbul to solve this quilting mystery. After her friend, Juniper is abducted at the market, Alex and her crew (her cavapoo, Saedie, reporter Justin Case and the Granny Squad) make it their mission bring her home.

Gann uses descriptive language to paint a colorful picture of Istanbul. The reader feels like they are in the marketplace with the characters. There were historical elements interwoven throughout the story and the Granny Squad added a dose of humor without going overboard. If you are into intrigue, quilting and strong women characters, this is the story for you.
