The first in the Seaside Knitters mystery series introduces
four women who have taught me lots about knitting, about
friendship, and about life in a small seaside village on
Cape Ann, Massachusetts. Nell, Izzy, Cass, and Birdie range
in age from early 30s to around 80, but their friendship
knows no boundaries, especially those of age.
“Fiddlesticks,” Birdie would say.
Nell Endicott's niece, Izzy Chambers, raises some eyebrows
when she rents the apartment above her knitting shop to
Angie Archer, whose reputation for loose behavior and a
quick temper has made her unpopular with many locals. But
could any of them have wanted her dead? Angie’s body is
discovered drowned in the harbor, her long red hair tangled
like seaweed in a lobster trap.
An official investigation rules the death an accident. There
are speculations of too many whiskey sours, a slippery
wharf, a dark night… But Izzy and the Seaside Knitters smell
something fishy. When several strange incidents occur above
the shop, the women decide to take matters into their own
hands. But before long, their small-town sense of security
is frayed, and the threat of more violence hangs over this
tightly knit community.
