Sew Deadly by Elizabeth Lynn Casey

In ten words or less: Librarian is suspected of murdering a small town beauty queen.

Review: Tori Sinclair, excited to begin her new job a head of the Sweet Briar public Library, didn't suspect to come across a dead body in her first week on the job. Tiffany Ann Gilbert, the local beauty queen, is dead, and the local law thinks Tori had it in for her.
Why would Tori want to murder a woman she had never met? Other than the fact that Tori's a stranger, a Yankee (!), and that she was hired for a job that a local woman, Dixie Dunn, had held for years. Then there's the handsome elementary school teacher that Tiffany Ann had been unsuccessfully pursuing, and who has been seen having coffee with Tori at Debbie's Bakery.
Tori attempts to solve the mystery and win over the members of the local sewing circle.
