Scarves of every color, sweaters in intricate weaves, and knitting needles with sharp points . . .

With tourist season finally over, the small mountain town of Estes Park, Colorado, can breathe a collective sigh of relief and enjoy a slower, more relaxed pace. That works just fine for Winifred Page, so she can rearrange the novels that cover the shelves of her bookshop. Watson, her beloved Corgi, is equally as excited about long uninterrupted naps by the fire.

Strings that Fred has been attempting to connect around her father's murder, and the Irons family infiltration into her town and her life, suddenly tangle into one huge mound of brightly colored knots. It's going to take all of her skill and strength to weave them into the truth. However, sometimes, a particularly harmless-looking thread can make everything unravel . . .

(This culinary cozy mystery includes a recipe for the perfect chocolate chip cookie.)
