About This Book

What starts with a kleptomaniac ends with a crafty killer in the new Crochet Mystery from national bestselling author Betty Hechtman . . .

When the bookstore where she works closes for renovations, Molly Pink and the Tarzana Hookers hit the road for a relaxing crochet weekend in the quaint town of Pixie. The getaway comes at the perfect time for Molly, who's been asked by her former beau to help finger a thief in Pixie who's been pilfering personal items from a friend. Molly's plan is to attend a pre-wedding party at the friend's home and catch the culprit in the act, but her simple sleuthing turns deadly serious when the groom-to-be is found murdered.

To complicate matters, the victim was found on the property abutting the place where the Hookers are staying, and they and Molly soon get roped into the investigation as potential witnesses. But Molly knows her list of possible petty thieves holds the name of the killer, and she'll have to rule them out one by one to nab the guilty party. Certain she's on the right track when she receives a threatening note telling her to back off, Molly will have to sort through a tangle of clues before the wedding that became a funeral becomes a funeral for her . . .

Includes a crochet project and a delicious recipe!
