Synopsis

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas for the knitters of Fort Connor, Colorado, who are furiously working on their holiday projects. And it’s not a stitch too soon, because some unfortunate resident will be feeling a deadly chill instead of holiday cheer...

This Yuletide, Kelly Flynn and friends are helping the town's librarian, Juliet, teach children how to knit. Juliet has fallen in love—but just as she finds happiness, death finds her, facedown in her Christmas cape. Suspicion falls on a newcomer, a widow with a puzzling past, who—some believe—was sweet on Juliet's boyfriend. But Kelly and her knitting crew aren't convinced. It's up to them to find a killer—before someone else gets fleeced.

“A perfect read...when snuggling down after the turkey dinner has been devoured.” –Mystery Books News

About the Author

Maggie Sefton is the author of the New York Times bestselling Knitting Mysteries. She was born and raised in northern Virginia, where she received her bachelor’s degree in English literature and journalism. While Sefton has worked as both a CPA and a real estate broker, she feels that neither of those endeavors compare to the challenge of creating worlds on paper. She is the mother of four grown daughters, currently scattered around the globe, and resides in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado with two very demanding dogs.

From Booklist

This is Sefton’s sixth entry in her enjoyable mystery series featuring CPA, caffeine addict, and beginning knitter Kelly Flynn. Christmas is approaching, and the knitters who hang out at House of Lambspun in Fort Connor, Colorado, are working on various holiday projects. Even neophyte knitter Kelly is inspired to help in a project teaching children how to knit. The venture is headed by the quiet town librarian, Juliet, well known for her beautiful hand-knitted Christmas capes. Everyone at House of Lambspun loves the unassuming librarian and is horrified to learn of her death in a hit-and-run accident. Some of the members of the knitting group think that the unidentified hit-and-run driver may be Claudia, a newcomer to the group. Kelly resists getting involved as an amateur sleuth but finally decides she has to do something to solve the murder and end the dissension in the normally “close-knit” group of friends. One of the most rewarding things about this series is that the circle of friends includes young and old, male and female, all of whom possess a variety of interests beyond knitting. --Judy Coon
