A FATAL FLEECE by Sally Goldenbaum

"The knitters will gather once again to investigate the death of an old curmudgeon."

A Fatal Fleece

Posted: May 28, 2012

Finnegan was a fixture in the town of Sea Harbor. After the death of his wife, he retreated to his property and let the weeds grow rampant on his property. He had a strict code of proper behavior and wasn't ashamed to let others know when he thought they were wrong. The only family he allows on his property is the Halloran family and Birdie's newly discovered grandaughter.

Gabbyis a 10 year old who takes the town by storm. All the other girls want to imitate her style. Birdie and her staff are enchanted by her as is rest of the town, espcially Finnegan. Cass is taking Finnegan some bread and stumbles over his body. She is devastated by his death.

Nell and the rest of the Seaside Knitters will seek the truth of who killed Finnegan when his will is read; Finnegan has left everything he owns to Cass. The Hallorn lobster business is about to go broke and the news of this inheritance is causing the police to think that Cass might have killed him for his money.

Knowing that Cass is incapable of murder, her friends rally around to discover the real killer. When Finn's stepdaughter is killed, it becomes obvious that this isn't just about his money.

As always, Ms. Goldenbaum has written an intriguing mystery with some wonderful characters. Filled with love of friends and family and some thoughtful storytelling, this is a book that will enchant the reader. Every time I read one of these books, I want to find Sea Harbor and meet the cast of characters.

Book Summary

As Izzy Perry and the Seaside Knitters prepare Izzy's yarn studio for the tourist season, fellow knitter Birdie Favazza has her hands full with Gabby, a granddaughter she never knew existed. Gabby soon becomes a fixture in the town--riding off on Birdie's bike, teaching her own crochet class, even striking up an unlikely friendship with a reclusive fisherman, Finnegan, who is the source of much local turbulence.

Then lobsterwoman Cass Halloran stumbles over the old fisherman, his body covered with leaves and sea grass and wearing the yellow fleece vest she once made for him. When Cass becomes a suspect in his murder, the knitters rally to protect their dear friend.

Soon the Seaside Knitters will discover that caring for Gabby while casting their net for a killer is a tricky business, indeed. They'll have to keep their wits about them as they piece together the clues in an effort to catch the killer before one of their own winds up knitting behind bars.
