When a body is discovered at Sea Harbor's opening reception for the
autumn art series, the Seaside Knitters must take a break from stitching
baby gear to unravel a series of secrets in Sally Goldenbaum's 15th
Seaside Knitters Society mystery.
While no-nonsense mother-to-be Cass Halloran tries downplaying her
pregnancy and her frequent doctor's visits as an older mother-to-be, a
softer side of the lobsterwoman emerges as she joins the Seaside
Knitters in knitting an abundance of delicate hats and booties. But in
contrast to the happy news, terrifying events unfold at the town's art
series that puts a real chill in their New England fall...
Izzy Perry's husband Sam had reservations about inviting his one-time
mentor Harrison Grant to speak at the opening reception, although he
never imagined the famed and charismatic photographer would rudely
embarrass his hosts that evening. But when a dead body turns up along
the wooded shoreline the next day, startling secrets come into focus
that could undo the tight-knit community of local artists . . .
With a mysterious murder pitting neighbors against each other, Izzy,
Birdie, Nell, and a vulnerable Cass find themselves entangled in a
dangerous hunt for answers. Can four best friends somehow tie together
scattered clues and pacify a list of potential culprits before a cascade
of fallen foliage buries the pièce de résistance of a ruthless killer?
