The latest novel in the national bestselling Haunted Yarn Shop Mystery series
Yarn shop owner Kath Rutledge is at a historic farm in Blue Plum, Tennessee, volunteering for the high school program Hands on History. But when a long-buried murder is uncovered on the property, Kath needs help from Geneva the ghost to solve a crime that time forgot....
Kath and her needlework group TGIF (Thank Goodness Its Fiber) are preparing to teach a workshop at the Holston Homeplace Living History Farm, but their lesson in crazy quilts is no match for the crazy antics of the assistant director, Phillip Bell. Hamming it up with equal parts history and histrionics, Phillip leads an archaeological dig of the farms original dump siteuntil one student stops the show by uncovering some human bones.
When a full skeleton is later excavated, Kath cant help but wonder if its somehow connected to Geneva, the ghost who haunts her shop, and whom she met at this very site. After Phillip is found dead, its up to Kath to thread the clues together before someone else becomes history.
