Thread the Halls is the sixth installment in the Mainely Needlepoint series set in Haven Harbor, ME and featuring Mainely Needpoint owner Angie Curtis. With Christmas right around the corner Angie is looking forward to the holidays spent with boyfriend Patrick West, friends and her family.

Patrick receives a call from his mother Skye, renowned actress that she will be taking a break from filming and returning to the West estate, Aurora along with several of her cast members to celebrate the holidays. Skye would like Angie and her fellow needlepointers to create personalized pillows for the film crew, and Patrick enlists her help along with half the town to get Aurora decorated for the famous celebrities.

Shortly after Skye's arrival, Angie and Patrick discover the body of actor Paul Carmichael while walking the grounds of Aurora. Unsure if the man has been accidentally shot by a hunter or if someone had a grudge against the man, Angie finds herself drawn into the investigation to find a killer. When Patrick is poisoned by cookies that Angie is accused of baking, hopes for a happy holiday quickly melt away.

A fast paced storyline that features many recurring series characters, a cozy town and plenty of suspects. The only thing that I am beginning to dislike about the series is that Angie seems to always put Patrick and his family before her own needs. The relationship between the two doesn't evoke warm and fuzzy feelings for me and I'm almost wishing that another love interest will move into Haven Harbor.
