Publisher Comments:

Meet Ariadne Evans. She's the proud owner of a knitting shop. And she's just got herself in a stitch.

When Ariadne enters her knitting store one day and discovers the cast-off body of longtime customer Edith Perry strangled with homespun yarn, she fears her life is about to come undone — again, since she's still getting over her divorce. Ariadne's worries increase when she's questioned by detective Joshua Pierce, who may or may not have designs on her. While Josh pieces together the details of the crime, clues about Ariadne's ties to Miss Perry begin to slip together...and a bizarre pattern unfolds. Now it's up to Ariadne to do some sleuthing of her own. Can she untangle the investi-gation without getting snarled up into too much trouble? That depends on whether the killer is as crafty as she is....

OK. It's not great literature, but ... if you're a knitter and a mystery lover, what could be more fun that reading a mystery which starts out with someone being murdered in the yarn store with purple hand-spun yarn. I knit my way through this book, enjoying every minute of it.
