So What's this mystery all about?

Think Lara Langston might finally catch a break? Think again.

Between quilting tours in Hawaii, Lara stays behind to soak up the island sunshine, finish her Aloha and Island Hopping quilts, and maybe--just maybe--avoid another mystery. But when a chance encounter leads to an unexpected discovery, her quiet retreat takes another turn toward the unknown.

With her Featherweight by her side and her instincts ahrper than ever, Lara once again finds herself piecing together more than just fabaric. Every clue she stitches brings her closer to uncovering what--or who--has been hiding in plain sight.

Join Lucky Break, the newest Mystery Five-0 Mini-Mystery Quilt, and sew along as Lara proves that sometimes a "break" is just the beginning of another unforgettable case.

Because in the world of Mystery Five-0...

...luck has nothing to do with it.

Armed with her trusty Featherweight machine , sharp intuition, and a knack for seeing patterns others miss, Lara balances quilting adventures with uncovering long-hidden truths.
