KNIT, PURL, DIE (Anne Canadeo)

The Black Sheep knitters are at it again!  Maggie Messina, owner of the Black Sheep knitting shop, has invited old friend Gloria Sterling, a wealthy, fifty-something beauty recently married to a much younger man, to join the knitting group that includes graphic artist Lucy, realtor Suzanne, psychologist Dana, and student Phoebe.  The women are delighted to see Gloria's newfound marital bliss with Jamie Barnett, a struggling artist who is completely besotted with his bride.  The group is nearly as devastated as Jamie when Gloria drowns  in her swimming pool one night while Jamie is in Bosoton arranging a gallery showing of his artwork.  The police believe that Gloria's death was an accident, the sad result of too many painkillers and too much wine.  The Black Sheep knitters are not convinced.  To whom did the second wine glass found by Suzanne belong?  Why did Gloria sound so upbeat on the phone just before her death if she was despondent?  Why was her favorite deck chair on the other side of the pool when she died?  What about her real estate holdings?  Read this charming cozy and find out!
