SYNOPSIS:

In the latest novel from The New York Times bestselling author of Knit to Be Tied, Kelly Flynn and The Lambspun Knitters are eagerly awaiting a bundle of joy but find themselves heaped with trouble instead…

     Kelly Flynn and her boyfriend, Steve, couldn’t be happier as they await the birth of their bouncing baby boy. Kelly’s got a built-in group of fiber arts specialists, the Lambspun Knitters, who are working away on blankets and booties. As they sit around the table crafting their keepsakes, the story of Giselle Callahan is a popular topic of conversation. 

          Giselle is the young wife of Henry Callahan, a Fort Connor banking scion, who traded in his previous wife of forty years for a newer model. Giselle’s prowess as a skilled country club golfer and social climber puts her on someone’s hit list. When she is found dead on the greens at the golf club, Kelly and her Lambspun crew worry that a vicious killer is in their midst. They must work fast to bring an unhinged murderer to justice on the back nine before Kelly’s very special delivery…

DELICIOUS RECIPES AND KNITTING PATTERN INCLUDED! 

Author Maggie Sefton always does a wonderful job of making her characters feel like friends you know or wish you did.

This time around the author shares the joys and daily challenges of impending childbirth through the actions and adventures of Kelly Flynn. The small-town atmosphere and comradery of friendship shines throughout the story.

While the story moves at a good pace and is easy to follow, the meat of the mystery isn’t as strong as in prior books in the series. Mystery lovers will still enjoy the challenge of solving the secrets as the story unfolds.

A bonus to the story is a tasty recipe, a fun knitting project, and an excerpt from the second book in the knitting series at the end of the story.
