A salvage job at a historic plantation shouldn’t come with a side of murder.

Paisley Sutton is ready for a quiet weekend of stitching—until a body turns up at the Brown Plantation, her new client’s property. As she digs into the past, Paisley uncovers secrets tied to the people who once lived there—secrets someone is desperate to keep hidden.

Delve into Basted Butchery, the atmospheric new story in the Stitches in Crime series—where history isn’t always behind you, and every thread Paisley pulls could unravel a killer’s cover.

ACF Bookens loves a good mystery, a quaint bookshop, and a good cup of coffee. She lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, where she takes joy in the mountain views and the quiet back roads. She lives with her son and three rescue cats who are, of course, nocturnal. Aslan, the cat in her books, is based on her departed first cat by that name, who spent an inordinate amount of time digging up her houseplants.

In her books, Bookens addresses issues of justice and writes with intention to disrupt the white supremacy that says that "whiteness" is normal by making purposeful note of every character's ethnicity. She is weary of books that assume everyone is white unless the author says otherwise because being white is not the default of reality. Her hope is that readers enjoy escaping into her stories and are challenged, just a little, to make themselves better people and the world a better place from the reading.
