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 . . . Before scandalous secrets break bonds and rumors tear Sea Harbor apart, the Seaside Knitters need to string together the truth about Dolores--while preventing a greedy murderer from making another move! * Includes a knitting pattern * Praise for the Seaside Knitters Mysteries "Add a cup of tea, a roaring fire, and you've got the perfect cozy evening." --New York Times bestselling author Rhys Bowen "Goldenbaum's plotting is superb, her characters are richly drawn . . . and her prose is seamless." --Richmond Times-Dispatch "The Seaside Knitters are a wonderful group of friends who care about each other, and readers will care about them, too." --New York Times bestselling author Nancy Pickard "A delight and a treasure--as engaging and unpredictable as a gorgeous New England afternoon." --Award-winning author Hank Phillippi Ryan "Invites you once again to imagine yourself in a charming, if homicidal town." --Kirkus Reviews "A charming debut . . . an ideal beach read." --Publishers Weekly
