Autumn in Colorado is a beautiful time of year and, for Kelly Flynn, it's a time to rethink and reorganize her hectic life. Her financial consulting business is flourishing and, while her love life is at a bit of a standstill with boyfriend Steve gone so much with work, she is happy to have her knitting pals at the House of Lambspun to keep her company.

When one evening she comes home to find a strange girl, Holly Kaiser, standing on her patio, chemically oblivious to the world around her, Kelly becomes concerned. She soon discovers that lots of kids in Fort Connor, a college town, are into the drug scene. When Holly is found along the trail behind Kelly's house, dead from a drug overdose, she takes it upon herself to find out just what's going on to disrupt her peaceful Rocky Mountain life.

In the latest book in her Knitting Mystery series, SKEIN OF THE CRIME, Maggie Sefton once again delivers a fast-paced story of mystery and suspense with her intelligent heroine, Kelly Flynn, at the helm of the investigation. It's a pleasure to revisit the ladies (and a few gentlemen) at the House of Lambspun, the knitting shop where Kelly hangs out. The warm friendship and camaraderie is charming. Sefton imparts a feeling of true companionship among the group throughout her tale. SKEIN OF THE CRIME is the eighth book in Sefton's series. Each book develops and expands the backgrounds and back-stories of the characters to the point that each book feels like a reunion with beloved friends. As a wonderful bonus, Sefton includes a delicious recipe for a yummy and easy Carrot Cake, as well as a pattern for a cute braided knit scarf.

Book Summary

The newest installment in the series, with knitting patterns and recipes included!

Fall has come to Fort Connor, Colorado, and the cool air has inspired the knitters at the House of Lambspun to start on their hats and mittens. It's also brought an influx of students to the university town-and into the shop for knitting classes.

Kelly Flynn is happy to teach them the tricks of the trade-until one of them is found dead on the river trail near Kelly's house. Compelled to investigate, Kelly finds herself following a path that twists more easily than the yarn with which she knits. Knowing the killer could be close, Kelly must work fast to unravel the skein of this crime.
