Murder Wears Mittens - Paperback

by Sally Goldenbaum (Author)

As autumn washes over coastal Sea Harbor, Massachusetts, the Seaside Knitters anticipate a relaxing off-season. But when murder shatters the peace, the craftiest bunch in town must unravel a killer's deadly scheme . . .

After retrieving fresh lobster nets from a local Laundromat, Cass Halloran rushes to attend a last-minute gathering with her knitting circle. But Cass can't stop worrying about the lonely boy seen hanging around the dryers, and the school uniform he left behind in a hurry. When the ladies return the lost clothing the next day, they find the child and his younger sister alone, seemingly abandoned by their mother . . .

The knitters intend to facilitate a family reunion, not investigate a crime. But the death of Dolores Cardozo, a recluse from the edge of town, throws the group for a loop. Especially when the missing mother and one of their own become tied to the victim's hidden fortune--and her murder . . . It's up to the Seaside Knitters to string together the truth about Dolores--while preventing a greedy murderer from making another move!

"A brilliantly written crime mystery, full of suspense and human warmth."
--The Washington Book Review

"I was utterly charmed by the Seaside Knitters and their cozy community."
--Laurien Berenson, bestselling author
