When a body is discovered at Sea Harbor' s opening reception for the autumn art series, the Seaside Knitters must take a break from stitching baby gear to unravel a series of secrets in Sally Goldenbaum' s 15th Seaside Knitters Society mystery. While no-nonsense mother-to-be Cass Halloran tries downplaying her pregnancy and her frequent doctor' s visits as an "older" mother-to-be, a softer side of the lobsterwoman emerges as she joins the Seaside Knitters in knitting an abundance of delicate hats and booties. But in contrast to the happy news, terrifying events unfold at the town' s art series that puts a real chill in their New England fall. . . Izzy Perry' s husband Sam had reservations about inviting his one-time mentor Harrison Grant to speak at the opening reception, although he never imagined the famed and charismatic photographer would rudely embarrass his hosts that evening. But when a dead body turns up along the wooded shoreline the next day, startling secrets come into focus that could undo the tight-knit community of local artists. . . With a mysterious murder pitting neighbors against each other, Izzy, Birdie, Nell, and a vulnerable Cass find themselves entangled in a dangerous hunt for answers. Can four best friends somehow tie together scattered clues and pacify a list of potential culprits before a cascade of fallen foliage buries the piece de resistance of a ruthless killer?
Praise for Murder Wears Mittens "The Seaside Knitters go all out to solve another murder . . . This one keeps you guessing a bit longer than usual and features such caring sleuths you can' t help but like them. " --Kirkus Reviews "An intriguing murder . . . Izzy and her fellow Seaside Knitters feel an obligation to find the truth . . . Happily, a sock pattern is appended. " --Booklist "Goldenbaum has created an idyllic world in which good friends, good works, and discussing the passage of time and changes in the community are as important as solving crimes.
