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?
