The Body in the Kelp

It seems as if nothing is going to liven up
Faith Fairchild's deathly dull vacation on Maine's Sanpere Island --
until she buys a beautiful handmade quilt at an estate auction. Lovingly
constructed by wealthy, deceased, and detested Matilda Prescott,
Faith's purchase turns out to be quite a bargain indeed -- especially
when she discovers it to be a map to the old woman's hidden treasure.
But instead of pointing the transplanted New York
caterer-turned-minister's wife toward the fabled Prescott gold,
Matilda's artfully crafted clues lead Faith to a kelp-covered corpse
floating in a nearby tidal pool. Once again, the resourceful amateur
sleuth has become entangled in a dangerous puzzle, ensnared in twisted,
lethal threads of familial greed and cold-blooded homicide. And Faith
won't be satisfied until she has the whole murderous matter sewn up.
