Lyra Moore has spent years keeping a low profile in Orchard Hollow. Sure, she’s a fairy, but she much prefers running the Mistbrook Manor Funeral Home to getting tangled up in magic. Unfortunately, trouble seems to have a way of finding her—especially when it involves the dearly departed.
When a retired librarian is found strangled with silk yarn in the middle of the local crochet club’s weekly meeting, everyone is quick to call it a tragic accident. But Lyra’s gut tells her otherwise, and her cursed, talking cat Theo (who has far too many opinions) agrees. The victim had just uncovered a long-lost crochet pattern rumored to hold a valuable secret—and it seems someone was willing to kill to get their hands on it.
With a town full of nosy shopkeepers, bickering club members, and one particularly attractive fae prince getting in her way, Lyra starts unraveling the case one thread at a time. But when another body turns up, things go from bad to worse. It’s clear the murderer isn’t ready to cast off their deadly plans just yet.
Between dodging magical mishaps, keeping her fairy identity under wraps, and avoiding a complicated dating life, Lyra has her hands full. Can she untangle the clues before the killer strikes again? Or will she find herself stitched into the next crime scene?
