Riverbank Knitting Mystery #02: Knit Or Dye Trying

- Blurb -

Business is booming for Libby Beckett and her fabulous Maryland shop, aptly named Y. A. R. N. , but when a town festival brings a fatality with it, Libby gets all tangled up in murder. As spring comes to Collinstown, the village launches a food festival to draw a new group of tourists. Libby, proud owner of Y. A. R. N. , has planned a yarn event to provide an alternative option to a foodie weekend. Artisan fiber dyer Julie Wilson-known for her work with animal-friendly, plant-based knitting fibers such as bamboo and hemp as well as her brilliant use of color-will hopefully draw a crowd with a special dyeing workshop. The festival begins, but it draws more than crowds. First a flock of sheep parades down the street, herded by farmers protesting Julie' s antiwool stance. Then Julie' s celebrity chef sister appears, and the siblings resume a long-standing rivalry. Despite all this, Julie' s workshop has sold out. Libby is thrilled, and they' re preparing for a full house. But the night before the event, Julie is found alone in the warehouse event space-dead. The witty "Watch Julie Wilson Dye" workshop title now has a terrible new meaning-and it' s up to Libby to catch a crafty killer.
