Tagging along to an estate sale with her fellow Needlepointer, antiques shop owner Sarah Byrne, Angie Curtis impulsively bids on a tattered embroidery of a coat of arms. When she gets her prize back home to Haven Harbor, she discovers a document from 1757 behind the framed needlework—a claim for a child from a foundling hospital. Intrigued, Angie is determined to find the common thread between the child and the coat of arms.

Accepting her reporter friend Clem Walker's invitation to talk about her find on the local TV news, Angie makes an appeal to anyone who might have information. Instead, both women receive death threats. When Clem is found strangled in a parking lot, Angie fears her own life may be in jeopardy. She has to unravel this historical mystery—or she may be the next one going, going . . . gone . . .

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

When I was in my thirties and single I was an adoption advocate and adopted four daughters. Now I live on the coast of Maine, and write mysteries and historical novels about people searching for love, acceptance, and a place to call home. I'm thrilled to now be a USA Today (and Amazon) best seller!

I write three mystery series -- The Mainely Needlepoint series, the Shadows Antique Mystery series, and the Maine Murder series (under the name Cornelia Kidd.) I also write historical novels: Justice & Mercy, a mystery for adults, and seven historical novels for ages 8 and up. Pizza To Die For is a contemporary mystery for young people.

I love sitting on the porch of my home built in 1774, overlooking the river and sipping wine, when I'm not reading or writing or keeping up with the rest of the world on CNN. On good days I walk along beautiful coastal roads near my home. I also love speaking about writing at schools, libraries, and other organizations.

In my LIVING AND WRITING ON THE COAST OF MAINE I write about what it's like to be an author living in Maine. Full of love and humor, it shows how my work and life intersect.

My favorite quotation is "Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for; it is a thing to be achieved." William Jennings Bryan wrote that, but I think it defines my life.

For more information about me (and links to free prequels of my recent books!) check my website, www.leawait.com, friend me on Facebook and Goodreads, like my www.facebook.com/lLea Wait/Cornelia Kidd page, and read the blog (www.mainecrimewriters.com) I write with 9 other mystery writers from Maine.

And remember ... LIFE is the real mystery!

Love any books with sewing or quilting, with a good romance or interesting murder along the way makes it more interesting

Not exactly a literary masterpiece but a fun bit of fluff

A novel about murder in Maine. Two women attend an auction and one buys an embroidered coat of arms. Seems someone else may have wanted it enough to commit murder and now the new owner and her group of friends and relatives are all in danger. What I enjoyed about the book was each new chapter listed the sayings and decorations on samplers made between the late 1700's and late 1800's. Whether they are authentic or not I don't know but it was interesting. The rest of the book was not as interesting with an obvious "who done it", and a ridiculous motive why the violent crimes were committed. Sorry, but as homespun as the story tried to be, I didn't buy it.

Everybody is entitled to their opinion, and clearly everybody ELSE who has reviewed this book so far loves it. That's okay.

I did NOT love it. I found it in desperate need of an editor and a copy editor. (Ex: "He's x's daughter." No, not a gender issue!) I found the heroine TSTL--who thinks an iron gate is going to protect her when a wall is three feet high and doesn't even surround the property? Who "goes into hiding" and proceeds to tell everyone she knows where she is--and acknowledges that the first place the bad guy will look for her is the place that everyone in town knows about? Who sees evidence of an intruder and calls her bestie before the cops? Who hears about people asking pointed questions about her and never lets the cops know?

And worst of all--what villain is going to make numerous threats, commit a murder and an attempted murder--when asking ONE POLITE QUESTION would satisfy everything he wants? Particularly when the violence and threatened violence is at odds with his life history to date?

Oh, and just for the record, Katherine of Aragon was Queen of England for 24 years. Which is not "brief." Poor choice of epigraph, but that goes back to the editing problem.

I have enjoyed this series up to this point, mostly for the needlework tidbits, but this entry pushed it right off the charts. Sorry, it's not for me, not any more. Life is too short for dumb heroines.

A great title and a great series

Reviewed in the United States on 8 November 2018

THREAD HERRINGS by Lea Wait is a Mainely Needlepoint Mystery. It is the 7th title in this very clever ‘cozy mystery’ series.
I don’t always have a ‘cozy’ relationship with cozy mysteries. I have liked some series and loathed others. But I do like this particular one. (Maybe because I live in Maine and Leah Wait also lives in Maine.) The titles are extremely clever - TWISTED THREADS, THREADS OF EVIDENCE, THREAD AND GONE, DANGLING BY A THREAD, TIGHTENING THE THREADS, THREAD THE HALLS and the current THREAD HERRINGS. The locale is coastal Maine and Ms. Wait has captured the sense of place very well. The characters are pretty believable and while the plots can be a bit thin, they, too, are believable.
I like the embroidery and needlepoint themes throughout the books. Each chapter gives an example of a historical piece of needlework. I also like the references to real towns and cities, highways and restaurants, local history and customs.

Angie Curtis and her friend Sarah are attending an auction and Angie bids on a tattered piece of embroidery that catches her attention. It is a coat of arms. Her interest leads to many questions - Can it be restored? Who did it belong to? Where is it from originally? What is the mysterious piece of paper and ribbon hidden in the frame?
Angie’s sleuthing leads her to the Maine Historical Society in Portland and a Foundling Hospital in London. But why would someone be stalking her and her friends, trying to retrieve this piece of embroidery?
Leah Wait is known for her excellent historical fiction (set in Maine) for elementary and middle school students. She also writes for adults.
