Thread and Buried

Praise for Lea Wait's Mainely Needlepoint Mystery series

"Wait blends in many details about needlepointing and running a small crafts business into the story, including bits of historical information about samplers and their creators, which begin each chapter. The importance of family, especially to those who lacked one growing up, is effectively woven through the tale. The lovingly described Maine coastal setting will appeal to those who enjoy Leslie Meier's Lucy Stone and Sarah Graves' Jake Tiptree cozies, also set in Maine." -Booklist on Thread on Arrival

"A newcomer to a small Maine town rouses suspicions when the down-on-his-luck man he's befriended is murdered....Themes concerning the welfare of both children and adults set Wait's latest entry in her needlepoint series apart from her even milder cozies." -Kirkus Reviews on Thread on Arrival

"Like all of Wait's previous mysteries, it's a real page-turner all the way to its shocking motive and surprise ending. I just loved this book. Keep them coming!" -Suspense Magazine on Thread on Arrival

"[Wait] enjoys a solid reputation as a skilled mystery writer, with entertaining plots and convincing characters."--The Morning Sentinel on Tightening the Threads

"Offers a wonderful sense of place and characters right from the very beginning. Highly recommended."--Suspense Magazine on Threads of Evidence
