In the newest mystery from the national bestselling author
of MURDER IN
MERINO, the sleuthing skills of Izzy Chambers Perry and
the Seaside
Knitters are tested as death mars the beginning of the
school year…
Seaside
Knitter Birdie Favazza is thrilled that her
granddaughter Gabby will be
visiting for the fall and attending the Sea Harbor
Community Day School.
Gabby loves the school, with its newly-adopted
progressive curriculum,
and
she loves that the Seaside Knitters are teaching
knitting as part of the
enrichment program. It’s a huge success, and on crisp
autumn days, girls
camp out on the terraces, knitting up hats for charity.
But not everyone is
happy with the direction the school is taking. Outspoken
board member
Blythe Westerland has sparked tempers with her
determination to unravel
the
current administration. Then, on the evening of an
elegant school event,
Blythe’s body is found near the school boathouse. With a
killer on the
loose, Birdie is determined to keep Gabby safe. Working
together, the
Seaside Knitters carefully unravel the layers of
Blythe’s complicated life,
bringing faculty members and town residents under
scrutiny. Before the
cast-off rows are made on the students’ projects, the
knitters will need to
stitch together the evidence to see if a murderer has
been walking beside
them all along.
