Revenge of the Crafty Corpse — Lois Winston

Welcome to the dysfunctional world of crafts editor Anastasia Pollack. After her gambling husband croaked and left her with more bills than you can shake a knitting needle at, Anastasia takes a part-time job leading a crafts class for a group of unruly seniors at Sunnyside Assisted Living Center. When one of the craftier residents, Lyndella Wegner, turns up dead, Anastasia's cantankerous mother-in-law becomes a prime suspect. Anastasia discovers that Lyndella was more notorious than her fabric yo-yos and x-rated dryer-lint paintings--and her scandalous past may just help solve the murder.
