The members of the Hook and Needle Club have made many exciting and adventurous road trips together through the years, but the opportunity to travel to Texas for a needlecraft convention is more than Annie Dawson and her friends can pass up. For Annie, it's a trip back to her old stomping grounds from her days when she and her late husband, Wayne, ran an automobile dealership. It's been more than three years since Wayne's death and since Annie moved to Stony Point, Maine, to take possession of Grey Gables, her late grandmother's old Victorian home. Now Annie returns to Texas, as Betsy is being honored at the convention for her groundbreaking work as a needlecrafter, and many of her works will be on display at a special exhibit. Accompanying Annie are three of her Hook and Needle Club friends: Mary Beth Brock, Kate Stevens, and Stella Brickson. Everything is going swimmingly until a death in Betsy's exhibit throws a pall on the road trip, and doubly so when Annie and her friends become part of the short list of suspects. In her first mystery away from the friendly confines of Grey Gables and Stony Point, Annie is drawn into the unseemly incident, and she lends her considerable talent in solving riddles to the handsome police detective assigned to the case.--From the publisher.
