Synopsis

 

Summer has made its way up the mountain to Clear Creek, and with the new season, the town is offering a slew of summer classes at the community center. Happy to participate, Jemma and her yarn shop sponsor a fiber-dying class taught by her oldest friend, Kitty.

When a mysterious man walks into class, something about him pulls Jemma into a tangle. Learning Kitty once knew him, Jemma has questions — but her friend is staying mum. Then Jemma goes on an early-morning walk and discovers the man dead.

This time, Jemma’s determined to stay out of the investigation — until she learns that because of a past she’s been hiding, Kitty is the main suspect! Unwilling to turn her back on her friend, Jemma starts looking for a dropped stitch.

Because somewhere, there’s a person with dye on their hands.

Review

 

If you enjoy beautiful scenery, mountains, and more, then you might want to check out this series. It is set in a small town in Colorado, and as it is with all small towns, everyone is nosey and in each other’s business, and it is hard to keep much a secret.

Jemma moved back to this small town when her grandmother passed away, and she inherited her yarn store. From the moment she arrived in town, she has been investigating murders, primarily to keep herself clear of any accusations. In this book, it is her friend Kitty that is suspected of killing someone. However, this just doesn’t seem logical, considering she is petite and probably doesn’t have the upper body strength to kill someone or move them to another location.

There are several suspicious characters, and as Jemma uncovers the truth, we discover several other situations that will resolve themselves by the end of the book. We learn more about Kitty’s past and her brother’s need to control her life. Jemma does find herself the target and takes a hit to the head again and a few other threats to her and her life. While I had a strong inclination towards one character, I wasn’t 100% correct. I enjoyed watching the story unfold.

Then there is the relationship between Jemma and Brandon. They are keeping it a secret, but because the town is nosey, it doesn’t stay that way for long.

This is an enjoyable series, and we give it 4 paws up.
