Molly Pink doesn't really attract all that much trouble,
but murder seems to follow her everywhere, even when she
goes on vacation.br>
In A STITCH IN CRIME: A Crochet Mystery, by Betty Hechtman,
Molly once again has a killer on her hands, when she'd
rather just be crocheting.
As the event coordinator for the Royal and Shedd Bookstore
and More, Molly has been tapped by her boss, Mrs. Shedd, to
organize and run the store's annual summer crafting
retreat, much to the concernment of Adele, Molly's co-
worker/friend/pain in the side. The retreat is set to take
place at a resort on Monterey Peninsula, and will feature
classes on everything from journaling, to entertaining, tai-
chi, knitting, and of course, crocheting. But when the star
crochet instructor, Izabelle Landers, is found on the
beach, dead from an allergic reaction to peanuts, it's up
to Molly and her pals from the Tarzana Hookers group to
find out who s'mored the poor woman to death.
With Adele delightedly taking over the crochet classes,
Molly checks out the rest of the attendees to find out who
had a motive to do Izabelle harm. Could it be the has-been
actor and his wife, or perhaps the mysterious couple who
seem overly interested in Izabelle's new book? Molly even
has to consider that even Adele might be a suspect, since
she had a run-in with the instructor over a stolen crochet
stitch.
It's all mayhem and madness as Molly, with a little help
from best friend Dinah, and surprise tai-chi teacher,
lawyer Mason Fields, tracks down the killer. Mrs. Shedd may
never hand over the coveted pink rhinestone clipboard to
Molly again after this weekend.
Combining a little suspense, a little romance, and a little
hooking, Betty Hechtman's charming crochet mystery series
is clever and lively, and A STITCH IN CRIME is a great
continuation of the storyline. As with the previous three
books in the series, Hechtman includes a couple of cute
crochet patterns as well recipes from dishes mentioned in
the book.
Molly and her Tarzana Hookers must untangle a twisted
yarn...
Molly's been handed the reins for this
year's creative retreat-an exhilarating weekend out on the
Monterey Peninsula, complete with crochet classes.
Unfortunately for one teacher, though, the breathtaking
scenery is where she'll take her last breath. Now Molly will
have to find a new instructor, and, if she can squeeze it
in, solve this murder-with the help of her pals from the
Tarzana Hookers.
