A 1920s-set cosy historical mystery. When one of dressmaker Rose's clients is swindled by a deceitful suitor, Rose can't resist being drawn into the investigation...
Rose had the sense of a thread being pulled. One tug and everything could unravel.
It is 1925 and women's lives are changing.
Talented, ambitious dress designer Rose Burnham can stitch a perfect seam - and has a knack for uncovering the truth. In their newly established studio, she and her sisters hear every secret whispered in the fitting room. So when a client confides that she's been duped by a fraudulent suitor, Rose leaps in to investigate.
Playing the detective is a grand adventure, but pressures soon mount and a string of poison-pen letters threaten a friend. Rose must rely on her wit, her resourcefulness and sisterly support to unpick the truth and stitch together their future - or risk losing her hard-fought independence altogether...
