Members of the Seaside Knitters attend a fundraiser for the
building of a new community center in Sea Harbor,
Massachusetts, and end up embroiled in a murder mystery.
Tension runs high because the two companies involved in the
project are long-standing enemies. When Sophia, wife of
their friend Gracie's Uncle Alphonso, drives her car off
the cliff, Nell, Cass, Izzy and Birdie find themselves
caught up in the investigation when it is revealed the
car's brake lines were cut.
The prime suspect is Gracie's estranged mother, Alphonso's
sister, Julianne. Nell and friends refuse to believe
Julianne could have been involved in the crime. Because
Gracie's in the middle of a divorce, though her soon-to-be
ex has been trying to show her he's mending his ways and
wants a reconciliation, the Seaside Knitters band together
to support their friend and find the real killer. They're
successful at unraveling a string of clues, but will they
put it all together before the crafty killer strikes again?
Sally Goldenbaum's MOON SPINNERS is the third in the
Seaside Knitters mystery series. It moves along at a
leisurely pace, giving the reader a strong sense of
location and mood as these intrepid detectives band
together to help a friend. This is the first I've read in
the series, and I thoroughly enjoyed the story and
different personalities of the women. I did feel like I
missed a bit in understanding the depth of the
relationships between the characters by not reading the
first couple of books, but this is an entertaining, stand-
alone mystery.
Stitch and sleuth in the third delightful knitting
mystery from the author of Patterns in the Sand.
In the quaint fishing village of Sea Harbor,
Massachusetts, the Seaside Knitters are always looking for
a new project. Their latest is helping their friend Gracie
Santos open the Lazy Lobster and Soup Café on Pelican
Pier. But they get sidetracked when Gracie's aunt Sophia
goes flying off the cliff in her red Ferrari-and it was no
accident. As gossip builds, and rumors circulate, the
Seaside Knitters must stitch together the clues if they're
to understand a killer's strange pattern.
