About this ebook

When Daisy Budd and her slightly dysfunctional sisters decide to turn a mortuary into a fashionable wedding boutique, they expect some opposition. After all, towns like Mayville don't care much for change. But when a body shows up in the mortuary's fountain, Daisy knows it's time to leave the bridezillas behind and solve the mystery. Nick Bowman, disinherited son of the town's leading family, is back after a seven-year estrangement. He's determined to protect his late grandfather's reputation by locating some loot supposedly hidden in the mortuary's cellar. But Nick's quest is complicated by the new owner. Daisy doesn't trust his motives and she's uncomfortable with the sparks the two of them generate, especially since Nick used to date her sister. When a second body shows up at the mortuary, Nick and Daisy need to work together to find the truth--but what happens when their inconvenient sparks become flames?

Ann Yost

Ann Yost comes from Ann Arbor, Michigan and a writing family whose single greatest accomplishment is excellent spelling. After six years at the University of Michigan she completed her degree in English literature and spent ten years working as a reporter, copy editor and humor columnist for three daily newspapers. Her most notable story at the Ypsilanti Press involved the tarring and feathering of a high school principal. When she moved with her Associated Press reporter husband to the Washington D.C. area, she did freelance work for the Washington Post, including first-person humor stories on substitute teaching and little league umpiring. She also did feature writing for the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation on building community in low-income neighborhoods and after-school programs throughout the country. While her three children were in high school, Ann began to write romantic suspense novels. Later, she turned to the Finnish-American community in Michigan’s remote Upper Peninsula for The Bait and Stitch Cozy Mystery Series featuring amateur female sleuth, Hatti Lehtinen, which begins with A Pattern for Murder. Fans describe her writing as "elegant" and "fun" with a "snapping good twist at the end." She lives in Northern Virginia with her husband and her enterprising mini-goldendoodle, Toby. She loves to hear from her fans through her website, www.annyost.com. THE BAIT & STITCH COZY MYSTERY SERIES: A Pattern for Murder A Yarn Over Murder A Double-Pointed Murder A Fair Isle Murder
