I enjoyed this cozy mystery. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advices reader audio copy.

The first book of Allie Pleiter that I have read and it was a delightful cozy mystery.

Shelby Phillips loses her graphic design job and returns home to help manage her mother’s needlepoint shop, Nina’s Nimble Needles, while her parents are on holiday. Shelby is reluctant to return but has not found new employment and decides she will make the best of the situation.

While back in town Shelby runs into a former classmate and the interaction is awkward at best. Shelby learns, Cat, her classmate, wanted to manage Nina’s shop and eventually buy it when Nina was ready to retire and is disappointed Shelby has comeback to run the shop. Shelby’s sister, Jessica, lives in town and their relationship is strained. Shelby is counting the days mail her mom returns.

Days after Shelby’s parents leave she discovers a body is near the shop and everyone, including the police believe it to be a tragic accident. Shelby doesn’t believe it to be that simple.

Thank you to NetGalley for an early review audiobook.

'One Sharp Stitch' features a likable female lead (Shelby) running a small business, quirky side characters, small-town drama, hints of romance, and amateur detective sleuthing. It is exactly what you would expect in a cozy mystery! Allie Pleiter weaves these elements into a swift and enjoyable read. Moreover, Shelby and the NYAGs inspired me to visit my local needlepoint shop and start crafting more!

If you enjoy cozy mysteries, I recommend this audiobook! Carrie Coello narrates with clarity and engaging charm.
