It's holiday season in the picturesque, coastal town of Sea Harbor,
Massachusetts! But in USA Today bestselling author Sally Goldenbaum's
latest Seaside Knitters Society mystery, the knitting club sleuths will
have to take a break from crafting cozy Christmas gifts to investigate a
murder at the Mayor's holiday party.
Winter in Sea Harbor is a feast for the senses--crackling bonfires, the
scent of snow in the salty air, carols ringing out on the village green.
This year, the Seaside Knitters have a sackful of obligations in
addition to their usual Christmas preparations. Izzy is so overloaded
with knitting classes that she hires an extra salesperson, but the new
addition has trouble fitting into the yarn shop's holiday spirit. Cass,
juggling the stresses of running her lobster fishery, has finally found
a nanny for her active toddler. Molly Flanigan seems practically perfect
in every way--until she suddenly disappears, taking Cass's beloved
rescue mutt with her...
Meanwhile, the holidays are kicking off in style at Mayor Beatrice
Scaglia's holiday party, where a well-dressed crowd admires the mayor's
sumptuous new home and the celebrity chef catering the event. An
additional treat for Ben and Nell Endicott at the festive affair is
reconnecting with a dear college friend, Oliver Bishop. But it's not
just reunions and the appetizers that are to-die-for. Before the
party-goers can toast the beginning of Sea Harbor's festive season, the
chef--and young wife of the Endicott's old Harvard friend--is found dead
beneath the mistletoe.
Izzy, Birdie, Nell, and Cass must uncover the pattern to these mysteries
to remove suspicion from those they love, bring a murderer to
justice--and keep Sea Harbor's holiday magic from vanishing into the
chill winter air...
