Atlanta/Highlands author Maggie Bailey will talk about her latest cozy mystery, Quilty as Charged, at this free event. Books will be available for purchase and signing.
Lydia Barnes has made the picturesque town of Peridot, Georgia her home. As the new owner of the Measure Twice fabric store, she invites her regular customers to a sewing retreat at her friend Fran’s Cherry Log mountain home. In between sewing lessons and quick lunches, a severe winter storm approaches. When Fran’s body is discovered murder is the only explanation, and the remaining six attendants are all suspects. In a daring plan to uncover the killer, Lydia must risk it all, including her life, before she is cut asunder and the bobbin runs out.

Maggie lives in Atlanta with her husband, two young children, her dogs, and a growing fabric stash she can’t help but add to on a regular basis. They have a second home in Highlands.
