Gloria Sterling had it all -- money, looks, and a new sexy young husband. So when she's found floating face down in her own swimming pool, shock waves ripple through tiny Plum Harbor. At the Black Sheep Knitting Shop, Maggie Messina and her circle are devastated to lose their dear friend -- a woman as colorful as her fabulous yarn creations.

The police are quick to call it an accident, but sorting out Gloria's final hours leaves too many loose ends to satisfy her friends. The vivacious, fiftysomething cougar had her French manicured tips in more than a few pots, and the threads of some inside deals stashed in her chic knitting tote.

Who was the last person to see Gloria alive on that quiet summer night? Two empty wine glasses suggest she wasn't home alone knitting the entire evening.... The Black Sheep need to know the truth and set out to unravel -- stitch by stitch -- the weighty secrets that pulled poor Gloria under.

I liked this sequel better than the first one in the series. Maybe due to the character development and in the end I liked this set of friends a lot :-)
The mystery isn't that hard to solve but still it is a charming cozy mystery and therefore an enjoyable read!

Thank you, Rianonne, for lending this book!
Looking forward to reading it during the Christmas vacation at the SPA... (maybe with some knlitting project with me as well).

What a nice cozy read!!! I would have loved to just follow Lucy and her friends knitting without any murder, but finding out, who was the bad guy was fun too.
I had a bad feeling about the girl on the picture and about Jamie from the beginning, and was happy to follow the lead about Mike Novak.... The end however was therefore a little bit disappointing, but I do not want to say too much.

Hopefully there are further books around the Black Sheep gang!

OBCZ Café Einstein - return for Rianonne

Safely back home. Thanks!
