Silk and Silence (A Snow Creek Mystery Book 2)

This is book 2 in the Snow Creek Cozy Mystery series by USA TODAY Bestselling Author J A Whiting.

Some secrets are sewn into the fabric of the past—and some are worth killing for.

When textile restorer and sewing shop owner Haley Coleman examines an antique quilt, her paranormal gift reveals something woven through the intricate stitching is evidence of murder. The quilt’s creator, beloved quilter Margot Sterling, recently died in what appeared to be an accidental fall—but Haley suspects Margot was preserving proof of a decades-old crime.
As Haley investigates, she uncovers connections to Georgia Ross, a talented high school student murdered three decades ago in the coastal town of Snow Creek, Massachusetts. The cold case was never solved, and someone desperately wants it to stay that way.
With help from her best friend Kelsey and Detective Jay Hollis, Haley interviews former classmates and teachers, uncovering old jealousies, hidden relationships, and dangerous secrets. But threatening messages escalate to violence, and Haley realizes she’s hunting a killer who won’t hesitate to kill again.
As the truth buried in Margot’s quilt begins to surface, Haley must identify the murderer before she becomes the next victim. Because in Snow Creek, some threads are too dangerous to pull—and some secrets refuse to stay hidden.
Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with paranormal elements, Silk and Silence weaves together small-town secrets, textile artistry, and a heroine whose gift for sensing stories in fabric might be the key to solving the case—if it doesn’t get her killed first.
