Author Talk | Maggie Bailey at Hudson Library

Atlanta/Highlands author Maggie Bailey will introduce her recent cozy mystery, Quilty as Charged, on Friday July 18 at 2:00 PM. Books will be available for purchase and signing at this free program.

Lydia Barnes has made the picturesque town of Peridot, Georgia her home. As the new owner of the Measure Twice fabric store, she invites her regular customers to a sewing retreat at her friend Fran’s Cherry Log mountain home. In between sewing lessons and quick lunches, a severe winter storm approaches. When Fran’s body is discovered, murder is the only explanation, and the remaining six attendees are all suspects. In a daring plan to uncover the killer, Lydia must risk it all, including her life, before she is cut asunder and the bobbin runs out.

An enthusiastic sewist and maker, Maggie Bailey is a graduate of Stanford, Oxford, Brown, and Sewanee Universities. She has previously published two volumes of poetry and a previous Measure Twice mystery. Maggie lives in Atlanta and Highlands with her husband, two young children, her dogs, and a growing fabric stash she can’t help but add to on a regular basis. Quilty as Charged is her second mystery novel.
