Description



About the Book



The owner of Y.A.R.N., Libby Beckett finds the holiday looking merry and bright for her business, but when her ex-husband turns up in town, and then turns up dead, her life slowly unravels as she tries to knit the clues together to solve this case.



Book Synopsis



A murder in her yarn shop's backyard puts Libby Beckett's holiday plans on thin ice....

The holiday season looks merry and bright for Libby and her friends at Y.A.R.N. The store is expanding for a holiday boom, and she's gathered Collinstown's businesses to decorate a community Christmas tree. Dashing "Gallant Herdsman" Vincenzo Marani arrives to showcase the rare vicuña, whose coat produces the world's most luxurious yarn. It's a perfect yuletide--until Libby's ex-husband, Sterling, turns up in town...and then turns up dead.

The murder unravels Libby's life faster than a hand-knit Christmas stocking. The luxe yarn goes missing, Sterling's domineering family comes to town, and the vicuña attempt an escape. If Libby can't stitch up a solution to the case, she may be trading in her knitting needles for a set of handcuffs.
