Knit to Kill

Canadeo’s fun ninth Black Sheep and Company mystery (after 2015’s A Murder in Mohair) takes the ladies of the Plum Harbor, Mass., knitting group to a resort community on Osprey Island, Maine, for a weekend of relaxation before member Lucy Binger’s wedding. Amy Cutler, an old friend of Black Sheep knitter Suzanne Cavanaugh, has let the group stay at her family’s cottage. Their first night, the ladies have a knitting session at a local mansion, where they encounter Julian Morton, a disagreeable island resident. The next morning, Morton is found dead at the bottom of a cliff. When the police determine that Morton’s fatal fall was no accident, Amy’s husband becomes a leading suspect. Since, as it turns out, more than one person made threats against the dead man, the knitters, who have solved crimes before, think that a bit of sleuthing is in order. Fortunately if not surprisingly, the ladies are able to identify the killer in time to get home for Lucy’s wedding. [em]Agent: Nancy Yost, Nancy Yost Literary. (Nov.) [/em]
