Do good fences make good neighbors?
Miss Sissy is a talented member of the Village Quilters guild in tiny Dappled Hills, North Carolina. She's also somewhat difficult to deal with as her new neighbor, Linton, discovered. Linton doesn't understand why Miss Sissy's house is almost entirely covered by thorny weeds like something out of Sleeping Beauty. Miss Sissy, on the other hand, doesn't understand why that's any of Linton's business.
When Linton ends up very dead, Miss Sissy seems to be the obvious suspect. But Beatrice and the other Village Quilters are determined to discover the real murderer and clear Miss Sissy's name-before the killer strikes again.
