Needled to Death by Elizabeth Craig

Sometimes, encountering someone with a barbed tongue can make you feel needled to death

Dappled Hills is a lovely mountain village that regularly attracts retirees. The latest transplant tempted by the town is Flossie Powell.

At first, Flossie seems to fit in very well among the townsfolk. As a retired quilt show judge, the quilt guilds in Dappled Hills are delighted to welcome her and her expertise. But it soon becomes apparent that Flossie has a sharp tongue and isn’t afraid to use it. Perhaps it’s not that surprising when Flossie is soon found murdered.

But Beatrice has also chosen Dappled Hills to retire to. And she quickly works to restore peace to the little town she loves before the killer strikes again.
