Counting on each other…
Meet the Black Sheep knitters — five smart, funny women who love to knit, gossip, and solve crimes….
Gloria Sterling had it all — money, looks, and a new sexy young husband. So when she’s found floating face down in her own swimming pool, shock waves ripple through tiny Plum Harbor. At the Black Sheep Knitting Shop, Maggie Messina and her circle are devastated to lose their dear friend — a woman as colorful as her fabulous yarn creations.
The police are quick to call it an accident, but sorting out Gloria’s final hours leaves too many loose ends to satisfy her friends. The vivacious, fiftysomething cougar had her French manicured tips in more than a few pots, and the threads of some inside deals stashed in her chic knitting tote.
Who was the last person to see Gloria alive on that quiet summer night? Two empty wine glasses suggest she wasn’t home alone knitting the entire evening…. The Black Sheep need to know the truth and set out to unravel — stitch by stitch — the weighty secrets that pulled poor Gloria under.
The Black Sheep Knitters are five quite colorful characters. Maggie Messina, the knitting shop’s owner has her suspicions on who and why they killed Gloria.
Lucy Binger who is divorced and inherited a coastal cottage finds contentment with the knitting club and the slower paced lifestyle.
Dana Haeger is a witty psychologist with a busy practice.
Suzanne Cavanaugh aka Supermom finds a small amount of time to keep up with her knitting and her friends.
Phoebe Meyers, a college gal with a nose stud rounds out this interesting group of gossiping friends.
This is a good “as the stomach churns” second book in the Black Sheep Knitting Series. A great read for the beach (can you tell I’m yearning for warmer weather?) You will even find a few knitting ideas and recipes at the end of the book
