A Secrets in the Stitches Cozy Mystery

A quaint Maine yarn shop, a murdered millionaire, and long buried town secrets…can Daisy unravel the truth before the killer strikes again?

Seeking refuge from the big-city life, Daisy Harmon returns to the charming coastal town of Port Blossom, Maine. Inheriting her grandmother Evelyn’s yarn shop, "The Tangled Skein," seems like a perfect blueprint for a peaceful new beginning. Surrounded by soft wool, and the scent of the sea, Daisy hopes to become part of the close-knit community.

But tranquility vanishes quickly when reviled developer Arthur Morriston is found murdered on the town pier. The only clue? A conspicuous length of Daisy’s own unique, hand-dyed ‘Twilight Blue’ alpaca yarn – a limited batch sold only from her shop – wrapped around the victim’s neck.

Suddenly, The Tangled Skein is at the center of a homicide investigation, and Daisy’s newfound friends and customers are suspects. Could the killer be among the sharp-witted members of the local Stitch & Bitch Circle? The anxious bookstore owner next door? The quiet, hardworking lobsterwoman? Even the reserved, handsome harbormaster seems caught in a web of historical resentment directed at the victim.

To protect her friends and the legacy of her grandmother's shop, Daisy must begin her own investigation. Diving into Evelyn's cryptic journals, filled with coded knitting patterns and long-buried town secrets, Daisy discovers that Morriston's enemies were numerous, his controversial plans tangled with generations of bad blood and broken promises.

Can Daisy decipher the clues hidden in the stitches and identify a killer before they decide she’s a loose end that needs taking care of – permanently?
