A Black Sheep Knitting Mystery 
Planning a wedding can really be murder!
M
aggie Messina, owner of the Black Sheep Knitting Shop, has volunteered her knitting circle to help a local bride who is barely holding her wedding plans together by a thread. With the big day rapidly approaching, perhaps Rebecca Bailey was a bit ambitious when she decided to knit her own gown. Most girls dream of wearing pearls . . . but
purls
? Fortunately, the five close-knit pals can easily stitch their way through this challenge. The shocking events after the ceremony are not so easily untangled.
Wedding bouquets are quickly exchanged for funeral wreaths when a mysterious explosion rocks the chemical company owned by the groom’s wealthy family. As the Black Sheep knitters offer comfort, they are drawn into a complicated pattern of deception, secrets, and betrayal. Is the blushing bride spinning a yarn? Or are her privileged new in-laws a very crafty clan?
It’s clear someone in Plum Harbor has donned sheep’s clothing, and the knitters must unravel the clues before this wolf strikes again . . . and picks off one of their own.
