A Farewell to Yarns — Jill Churchill

KNIT ONE, KILL TWO

Life's hectic enough for a housewife who must survive the politics of a church bazaar and finish the afghan from Hell -- without having to entertain house guests as well. So Jane Jeffry isn't exactly thrilled when her old acquaintance Phyllis Wagner arrives with her ill-mannered teenaged son. Phyllis visit turns out to be a short one -- and suburban tongues start wagging.

Who's the killer? Was it her estranged tycoon husband, her smarmy, resentful stepson, or Jane's nosy, evil-tempered neighbor? And who dumped a second corpse in the dumpster at the mall?

It's Detective Mel VanDyne's business to find out -- but Jane is making it hers. VanDyne is a handsome cop, and even if he calls her help ""damned dangerous meddling," Jane calls it "solving the case"...and a good bit more interesting than her knitting!
