As Izzy Chambers and the Seaside Knitters prepare Izzy’s yarn studio for the tourist season, fellow knitter Birdie Favazza has her hands full with a visiting granddaughter she never knew existed. Gabby soon becomes a fixture in the town—riding off on Birdie’s bike, teaching her own crochet class, even striking up an unlikely friendship with a reclusive local fisherman named Finnegan, himself the source of much local turbulence.
But it’s Cass Halloran, the lobsterwoman, who stumbles over the body of the old fisherman, covered with leaves and sea grass, and wearing the yellow fleece vest she once made him. When Cass unwittingly becomes a suspect in his murder, the knitters rally to protect their dear friend.
Soon the Seaside Knitters will discover that caring for Gabby while casting their net for a killer is tricky business indeed. They’ll have to keep their wits about them as they piece together the clues, working to catch a killer before one of their own winds up knitting behind bars.
Sally Goldenbaum knits the clues and characters together in a fascinating way!
The tourist season is kicking off and the Seaside Knitters are getting in the swing of things, Cass is finishing knitting a waistcoat for Finnegan, a retired fisherman, he seems reclusive and curmudgeonly to most but Cass is accepted by him (hence the knitting!), Birdie has a surprise in the form of a step granddaughter (Gabby - who also gets accepted as a friend by Finnegan), so far everything is rosy, but Finnegan's somewhat estranged daughter has arrived back in town, Birdie's brother-in-law, Nick (Gabby's great uncle) seems to be overly secretive about something, something involving Finnegan, and then Cass discovers Finnegan dead, wearing the yellow waistcoat (which he had loved and wore daily after she gave it too him) which was how she found him.
Now Cass seems to be in line to be suspect number one and so the Seaside Knitters are putting their heads and needles together to sort this out!
