Knit Fast, Die Young: A Knitting Mystery (Knitting Mysteries)

Overview: I am the author of 19 published books, and 4 novellas. Most of them are out of print - they're old! - but I'm in the process of rereleasing them as ebooks. The first one out is one of the novellas, "Gifts of the Heart." It's available at Kindle under my pseudonym of Mary Kingsley. I hope you try it, and that you like it! This lively and engaging novel in Mary Kruger's cozy mystery series follows the adventures of amateur sleuth and yarn shop owner Ariadne Evans as she untangles another knitting-related murder at a Massachusetts Yarn and Wool Festival. She found the body. Again. Sensing a pattern? Ariadne Evans swore her sleuthing days were over after her very own knitting shop became a crime scene a few months back. But she hadn't anticipated that the Freeport Wool and Yarn Festival would become the site of another murder -- with hers truly as a prime suspect. Since Ari was the one to find the body of Felicia Barr -- the much detested and influential owner of Knit It Up magazine -- with a knitting needle stuck in her back, the cops are needling Ari for answers. In a stitch, Ari dons her hand-knit detective cap and helps her on-and-off boyfriend, Detective Josh Pierce, untangle the day's events and solve a very woolly crime -- before the killer strikes again....
