Knitting
Mystery
In the latest novel from The New York Times
bestselling author of Knit to Be Tied, Kelly Flynn and The
Lambspun Knitters are eagerly awaiting a bundle of joy but find themselves
heaped with trouble instead…
Kelly Flynn and her boyfriend, Steve, couldn’t be happier as they await the
birth of their bouncing baby boy. Kelly’s got a built-in group of fiber arts
specialists, the Lambspun Knitters, who are working away on blankets and
booties. As they sit around the table crafting their keepsakes, the story of
Giselle Callahan is a popular topic of conversation.
Giselle is the young wife of Henry Callahan, a Fort Connor banking scion, who
traded in his previous wife of forty years for a newer model. Giselle’s prowess
as a skilled country club golfer and social climber puts her on someone’s hit
list. When she is found dead on the greens at the golf club, Kelly and her
Lambspun crew worry that a vicious killer is in their midst. They must work fast
to bring an unhinged murderer to justice on the back nine before Kelly’s very
special delivery…

Brooklyn's oh-so-proper future in-laws are traveling from England to meet
her, and if that's not enough to set her on edge, rumors abound that the
charming Courtyard shops across the street may be replaced by high-rise
apartments. Their trendy neighborhood will be ruined unless Brooklyn and her
fiancé, Derek Stone, can persuade the shopkeepers not to sell.
But with a rare edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland causing
bad blood at the Brothers Bookshop and a string of petty vandalism making
everyone nervous, Brooklyn and Derek feel like they're attempting six impossible
things before breakfast. Then the owner of the Rabbit Hole juice bar is felled
by his own heavy shelves, and the local cobbler lies dead beside him. An
accident . . . or something more sinister? Things get curiouser and curiouser
when a second priceless copy of Alice is discovered. Will it stir up more
trouble within the close-knit community?
As the Brits descend, Brooklyn learns they're not so stuffy after all.
Derek's dad is won over with chocolate cream pie, and his psychic mum would
kill to help Brooklyn solve this murder—before another victim takes a
tumble.

Vintage
Kitchen
In the brand-new Vintage Kitchen Mystery from the author of White
Colander Crime, someone with an old grudge decides it’s time to bury the
hatchet . . .
Vintage cookware and cookbook collector Jaymie Leighton has agreed to help
her sister clear out the house of a deceased older neighbor, and she’s thrilled
at the prospect of discovering antique kitchenware and other treasures—until she
opens a vintage trunk in the cellar and finds the remains of a teenage girl with
a cleaver buried in her skull. When the body of a second girl is found just days
later in a nearby river, the clues all indicate that the crimes are
connected—and that the culprit’s motives are hidden in the past.
Jaymie just wants to cut and run, but the victims were both high school
classmates of her sister when they disappeared, and that makes Jaymie the
perfect person to help the local police investigate the killings. As she dredges
up old memories and even older rivalries and jealousies, her list of suspects
grows. But Jaymie knows she’ll have to whittle it down to just one, and fast,
because someone has decided to cut their ties to Jaymie—in the most fatal of
ways . . .
Includes a vintage recipe!
