Knit, Purl, Die (Black Sheep Knitting Series #2) Book

Everyone in Plum Harbor knows Gloria Sterling -- a wealthy, vivacious, well-preserved dynamo with a fondness for knitting and getting married. She's just tied the knot with hubby #4, artistic hunk Daniel Wexler. In the market for a new house with a studio, Gloria turns to Suzanne, a fellow Black Sheep knitter and realtor. But when Suzanne drops by one morning and finds Gloria floating face down in her own swimming pool, the knitting circle investigates . . .

Publishers Weekly

At the start of Canadeo's delightful second Black Sheep knitting mystery (after 2009's While My Pretty One Knits), twice-widowed Gloria Sterling, an unofficial member of the local knitting circle, has returned from Florida to Plum Harbor, Mass., with a new husband, Jamie Barnett. A struggling artist, Jamie is much, much younger than his wealthy and glamorous bride. The five official members of the knitters group, led by Maggie Messina, owner of the Black Sheep Knitting Shop, at first suspect Jamie is after Gloria's fortune, but after seeing the pair together, they're reassured the couple are happy. When Gloria is found dead in her swimming pool, her fellow knitters, dissatisfied with a police verdict of accidental death, begin their own search for answers. Despite a predictable solution, the fast-paced plot will keep even nonknitters turning the pages. Web sites for knitting patterns and recipes are included. (Jan.)
