YOU BETTER KNOT DIE (Betty Hechtman)

Yarn!  For some reason novels that feature this wonderful substance always make me want more!

Widowed Molly Pink is again embroiled in murder and intrigue at the Shedd & Royal Bookstore.  As the staff prepares for a pre-holiday book signing by the mysterious author of a popular series featuring a romantic crocheting vampire, the community is rocked by the apparent suicide of Larry Perkins.  Larry is a popular investment whiz who has brokered lucrative deals for many of Molly's friends.  He and his wife, Emily, are also Molly's next door neighbors.  After grief-stricken Emily gives Molly a strange crocheted blanket created by Larry's sister, Molly's house is broken into and ransacked, while Larry's investors begin to worry about where their money has gone.  Things just don't add up, so Molly launches an investigation into Larry's disappearance, much to the consternation of her protective and competitive beaus, detective Bernie and lawyer Mason.  Is Larry really dead?  Does Emily know more than she is letting on?  Will coworker Adele ever stop driving Molly crazy?  Will Mason ever finish the sweater he is crocheting for his dog?  Check out this sweet Christmas themed mystery and find out!
