A Holiday Yarn: A Seaside Knitters Mystery - Hardcover

Sally Goldenbaum is the author of more than two dozen novels. Her fictional knitting friends are teaching her the intricacies of women's friendship, the mysteries of small-town living, and the very best way to pick up dropped stitches on a lacy knit shawl.

The fourth Seaside Knitters mystery focuses on Nell, knitting shop owner Izzy’s aunt. Christmas will soon be coming to Sea Harbor, and Mary Pisano has been renovating her grandfather’s estate with plans to open as a bed-and-breakfast. However, when the Pisano family gathers in Sea Harbor for their annual family meeting, things don’t go smoothly for Mary, and it gets worse when cousin Pamela is found dead on the B&B’s back porch. Nell, Birdie, and Cass try to help Mary, even as Izzy wrestles with her own, more personal mystery (longtime boyfriend Sam is behaving secretively).There’s no shortage of suspects and a lot of family secrets to unravel. New readers will have no problem keeping up with events and people, although they may want to go back and read the previous series entries. Goldenbaum’s cozy mystery features appealing characters whose relationships will matter to the reader, and the knitting details may inspire not just knitting but also helping the KasCare charity. --Kat Kan
