PLOT

In the sun-bleached coastal town of Harrow's Cove, Oregon, Lana Cunningham has built a small, extraordinary life from other people's beautiful discards. Her boutique, The Secondhand Siren, is equal parts fashion archive, community gathering place, and, some say, minor miracle — where a forgotten beaded bolero might find its way back to the world draped over exactly the right shoulder.

But when a breathtaking 1950s silk-and-tulle ballgown disappears from Lana's locked consignment room the same night its consignor — silver-tongued estate heir Prescott Whitmore III — turns up dead in the parking lot of the town's most beloved diner, Lana is left holding nothing but an empty garment bag and a very uncomfortable amount of suspicion.

The gown, it turns out, belonged to a dead fashion designer. And people in Harrow's Cove have very long memories about what that designer did — and what was done to her.

With a homicide detective who keeps showing up at her counter pretending to browse linen blouses, a town full of suspects who all knew more than they're saying, and her own inconvenient habit of noticing what other people miss, Lana is about to discover that the most dangerous seams are the ones that were never meant to be found.

The Stitch in Time is a slow-burning, atmospheric cozy mystery rich with vintage fashion, coastal Oregon atmosphere, community secrets, and a sleuth whose eye for detail might just get her killed.
