ScrapsOfEvidence 
"Scraps of Evidence"
Barbara Cameron

Tess' Aunt Susan is her only living relative.  Her mother passed away several years ago.  Susan, having taught Tess how to quilt, has instilled in her a love for the craft, but Tess has another interest besides quilting.  She is a police detective.  She became interested in being a detective when her best friend was killed the night of their senior prom.  

Tess is working with a new partner from Chicago when they are called to investigate a homicide.  There are many striking similarities between this case and her friends' death, including a mark on the nape of the neck.  But that's not all of Tess' concerns.  Her aunt seems to be having a lot of "accidents" lately.  Aunt Susan says she's just clumsy, but Tess is concerned about her uncle's lack of concern.  Susan's husband also happens to be the assistant to the Chief of Police.

****************************************************
I enjoyed the mystery part of the story and it was unique how the author used the quilt to solve the mystery.  I didn't enjoy the precise details of the murders.  
This story has a surprising twist.
