Murder by Pins and Needles - Samantha Bowers Mysteries, #3

Murder by Pins and Needles by Ardelle Holden....chronicles two decades of the life and death of love, loyalty and betrayal. It all started when Grace, Samantha's mother-in-law, found a beautiful Attic Windows quilt in a thrift store, and gave it to Sam and Ben for Christmas. Sam was absolutely thrilled Christmas morning until she saw the horror on Ben's face. It hadn't occurred to her that the menacing 'murder of crows' that had congregated in this Attic Windows quilt pattern would trigger Ben's PTSD. His reaction gave Sam pause to examine the quilt more closely, and what she discovered gave her chills.
So many references to stalking, death and a blue hat? The label read:Remember me, Nicky. Love, Mom. L. Bennett, 2015. Who was this woman, L. Bennett, so tormented by suspicion she hid clues to her own murder in a quilt for her son, Nicky? Or was it a daughter? Was she murdered or is she alive, steeped in paranoia? And how will Ben react to her poking around in murder again?
