The small New England town of Plum Harbor is the setting
for this unique murder mystery. Maggie Messina is the owner
of a knitting shop, and together with her Thursday night
knitting group, Lucy, Dana, Suzanne and Phoebe, they work
together to solve the murder of Maggie's rival, knitting
shop owner Amanda Goran.
Not much exciting ever happens in Plum Harbor, but when
Amanda is found dead in her shop, all eyes turn to Maggie.
It has never been a secret that she and Amanda did not get
along, mostly Amanda's doing. These knitting group sleuths
set out to clear Maggie's name and give her all the support
they can throughout this ordeal.
Through several twists and turns of events, Lucy ends up
with one of Amanda's dogs, but soon realizes the dog is
sick. What the vet finds in the dog's stomach and what Lucy
finds in a box of Amanda's dog sweaters, leads her to put
the puzzle together to discover the real murderer's
identity. Lucy, recently divorced, may even have found more
than she was looking for at the vet's office.
This book is an easy read, fast-paced and electrifying.
It's the first in a new mystery series by Canadeo and you
are sure to enjoy it. Can't wait to see what the knitters
will be up to in future books in this series!
The Black Sheep Knitters — Maggie, Lucy, Dana, Suzanne,
and Phoebe — meet once a week without fail, sharing the
varied and colorful skeins of their lives as much as
knitting tips, recipes, and small-town gossip, and creating
an intricate, durable pattern of friendship. Now a shocking
murder has peaceful Plum Harbor, Massachusetts, in knots —
and the Black Sheep women must herd together to protect one
of their own from a scandalous frame-up.
Maggie
Messina, beloved owner of the Black Sheep Knitting Shop, is
thrilled to be hosting a workshop for one of her former
students, now a celebrity in the knitting world. But the
celebration is upstaged when Amanda Goran, the owner of the
rival Knitting Nest, is found dead in her shop on the other
side of town.
Maggie had reasons to dislike Amanda, a
thorn in her side ever since Maggie's shop surpassed
Amanda's in popularity. Then again, it wasn't hard to
dislike Amanda — the contentious woman, whose marriage was
on the rocks, seemed to specialize in causing misery all
over town. But the pointed evidence has a detective casting
a suspicious eye on Maggie. She may be a whiz at knitting,
but can she keep the police from needling her before her
shop, her reputation, and her circle of friends become
unraveled?
