Returning to the quaint coastal town of Harbor Haven, Maine—a place she once called home—Angie Curtis finds her memories aren't all quite pleasant ones . . .
After leaving a decade ago, Angie has been called back to Harbor Haven by her grandmother, Charlotte, who raised her following her mother's disappearance when she was a child. Her mother has been found, and now the question of her whereabouts has sadly become the mystery of her murder.
The bright spot in Angie's homecoming is reuniting with Charlotte, who has started her own needlepointing business with a group called Mainely Needlepointers. But when a shady business associate of the stitchers dies suddenly under suspicious circumstances, Charlotte and Angie become suspects. As Angie starts to weave together clues, she discovers that this new murder may have ties to her own mother's cold case . . .

"For a trip to Maine for the cost of a book, this is the author to read."—Kings River Life Magazine
"Deep atmosphere, secrets from the past and a mystery interview with sharp plotting and well-developed, sympathetic characters create another winner in the second of the Mainly Needlepoint Mysteries."—RT Book Reviews

Ten years ago Angie Curtis left Harbor Haven, the coastal Maine town she called home. Now at the request of her grandmother Charlotte, Angie returns, happy to be reunited with the woman who raised her after her mother disappeared. As she explores the town and the new needlepoint business Charlotte has launched, Angie agrees to check out the business associate who has not been timely in paying Charlotte. When a man dies under mysterious circumstances and both women become suspects, Angie stitches together the clues that lead her to an old cold case--her mother's. VERDICT A cozy debut that hits all the sweet spots: small town, family ties, and a crew of intriguing personalities. Wait is also the author of the Agatha Award-nominated "Antique Print" series.
