Crafting a Deadline

Welcome to Gasper’s Cove, Nova Scotia—where beach clean‑ups turn up murder clues and the past won’t stay buried. When a message in a bottle dated 1962 surfaces near the abandoned lighthouse, shopkeeper and sewing teacher Valerie Rankin thinks it’s just small‑town gossip fodder—until a visiting lawyer falls to her death from the cliff and Valerie’s friend Catherine is arrested, with a quilting tool as key evidence.

With a nosy ghost hunter, a secretive heritage officer, rum‑runner legends, and a town split over saving its lighthouse, Valerie must stitch together the truth before history—and someone dangerous—strikes again.
