So What's This Mystery All About???
“Slip on your sandals, and thread your needle—Luau is the
next unforgettable chapter in the Mystery Five-0 quilt series!
As you stitch through four beautifully crafted clues, you’ll
follow our intrepid fabric sleuth, Lara Langston, during a
quiet stay on Maui between island-hopping tour seasons.
She plans to finish her quilts... but the islands have other
ideas.
One morning, a hand-made luau invitation—from an event
discontinued fifty years ago—appears mysteriously
beneath Lara’s door. Everyone connected to the old
gathering is long gone... or so the island believes. Why was Lara chosen to
receive this relic from the past? And who delivered it in the dead of night?
Armed with her Featherweight, fierce curiosity, and an uncanny eye for the
details others overlook, Lara is once again pulled into a puzzle only she can
piece together. Between sunsets, stitching sessions, and unexpected clues, this
Maui mystery unfolds one seam at a time.
Join the Luau Mystery Quilt—because with Mystery Five-0, every stitch leads
you deeper into the story.

So What's This Mystery All About??? Join us for Starry Night , the next luminous chapter in our Lara Langston mini-mystery quilt series. Fresh off a sun-soaked quilting tour in Hawaii—where she stitched her way through a real-life mystery—Lara has returned home to Nana’s house in Pringle, Iowa hoping for a little peace under familiar stars.
But when a long-forgotten hope chest is uncovered in Nana’s attic, Lara finds herself drawn into a decades-old disappearance that once haunted her small town. Bloodstained fabric. A cryptic journal. A photo with a warning scrawled on the back.
Now, as she sews through six stunning clues, Lara must team up with her former FBI partner, Dexter Ambrose, to reopen a cold case that was buried with more than just secrets. And as the investigation leads her deeper into the past, Lara begins to wonder—was Nana protecting her... or hiding the truth?
