Publisher Description
In the latest installment of the New York Times bestselling Knitting Mysteries, Kelly Flynn and the House of Lambspun knitters may be able to save the helpless animals in danger from a raging Colorado wildfire, but not the unexpected victim of a cold-blooded murder…
Kelly and her knitting pals were checking out the wares at the annual Wool Market when news spread about the wildfires threatening the canyon ranches. With temperatures scorching, the alpacas belonging to Kelly’s good friend Jayleen are in danger. Working fast, Kelly and her pals hightail the herd to the nearby pasture owned by rancher Andrea Holt. But their rescue mission is interrupted by a screaming match where Connie, a longtime employee of House of Lambspun, accuses Andrea of stealing her husband.
Days later, Andrea is found dead at her ranch—and suspicion immediately falls on Connie. Now Kelly and her friends must untangle this yarn before Connie ends up dangling by a thread…
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The devastating wildfire that struck Northern Colorado in 2012 dominates Sefton's somewhat plodding 12th knitting mystery featuring Fort Connor, Colo., accountant Kelly Flynn (after 2013's Close Knit Murder). Early on, the wildfire threatens the ranch of Jayleen Swinson, and Kelly and her friends rally to rescue Jayleen's alpaca herd by moving it to Andrea Holt's ranch in nearby Poudre Canyon. As if this move doesn't cause enough chaos, Connie Carson shows up to accuse Andrea of stealing her husband, Jim. Also present is Andrea's ex-husband, Dennis, who's still hoping to repair their marriage. When Andrea is found dead from an apparently accidental fall, Connie, Dennis, and Jim all come under suspicion. With local police preoccupied with disaster relief, it's up to Kelly to find the culprit. The rapid growth of the fire, and the human response to it, are powerfully portrayed, relegating the slowly-paced murder investigation to a poor second place.
