Synopsis:
A killer may craft the perfect crime, but as every knitter worth her yarn knows--murder wool out.
Mother's Day should be a cinch for the good folks of the Crandalsburg Craft Fair, and knitting enthusiast Lia Geiger has a good feeling about this year's yield. But things quickly get knotty when Lia's daughter announces she's quit her job and Lia finds herself tangled up in the murder of her best friend's ex-husband. While Belinda's alibi quickly gets her off the hook, nasty rumors spread throughout Crandalsburg that shroud the entire fair in suspicion.
Could the vendors be responsible for the murder of a man hell-bent on unraveling the fair just days before his death? Lia and her crafty group of Ninth Street Knitters must put down their needles to gather clues and save the crafting community they've grown to love.

Review:
Coming back across the pond this afternoon, this lovely cozy takes place in the NorthEast. It's the perfect read for holiday season, as it involves family, crafts and secrets! What seems like an unintended immediately turns into murder, and as the accusations fly, Lia realizes even though she thought she knew some of her new freinds in town and at the Crafters market,(she calls ita a fair, but to be honest, we would call it a market down in the South, because it's continually open, and not just one weekend, like traditional craft fairs) she really doesn't. And that those secrets might not just put her in danger, but her whole family! You do have to let go a bit of proper US police procedure, to allow for some of the license in the book, but cozies do tend that way, so it's not much of an issue. I do like the realistic look at post-millenials and their search for 'perfect', and the bounce back to home. It gives the book the authentic touch it needed. It was an enjoyable book and I'll be adding this cozy series to my reading list!
