Paisley Sutton: single mom, salvage expert, and amateur sleuth in over her head.

Paisley uncovers more than just antiques when she stumbles upon a body in an abandoned store. Unearthing a curious connection between a modern murder and the building's dark past, Paisley stitches together the pieces of a deadly mystery. But someone is determined to bury the evidence–and Paisley with it. Can she find the truth before she and her young son are history?

Dive into Crossed by Death, the charming first installment in the Stitches in Crime series—where small-town secrets, clever sleuthing, and a touch of motherly instinct combine in a cozy mystery that will keep you turning pages until the very last stitch falls into place.

REVIEWS Icon

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.
