Suzanne Cavanaugh has just about had it with her office rival at Prestige Properties. It’s bad enough that Liza Devereaux is constantly needling her at work, but when she shows up at one of Suzanne’s open houses to poach potential buyers, it’s the last straw. No one in the office fails to hear the two snarling at each other.

When Liza is later found dead in her office cubicle—poisoned by a diet shake—Suzanne becomes the prime suspect. It’s soon discovered, though, that Liza had double-crossed so many around town and stashed their dark secrets in her designer handbags that anyone could be the culprit.

The Black Sheep Knitters have no doubt their friend has been framed—but they need to prove it. Stirred to action, they get together to catch a sneaky killer who’s trying to pull the wool over everyone’s eyes . . .

I don't know how I have missed this series before. A group of mature women, knitters, business owners, etc is quite the sort of book I enjoy.

I know I will go back and find more books from this author.
The characters are well developed and people I would like to know.
I enjoy the relationship between them, and the men in their lives.

Suzanne's difficulty with a coworker is something I am sure we have all come across now and then. Someone who waits until much of the difficult work is done and then swoops in and takes credit. 
However there is a moral underneath the sad bits of the story - we never do know what someone else is going through. Almost all people, no matter the bad they do, have some good about them.

There are many secrets between the lines and behind the scenes. Changes are happening for many players. Enjoy a couple hours and get lost with these wonderful ladies. You may even find yourself desiring to do some good at the end.

Anne Canadeo is the best-selling author of more than 30 books, including the Black Sheep & Company Mysteries, and as Katherine Spencer, the Cape Light and Angel Island series. She somehow manages to write a lot,  despite many and much loved distractions — such as digging up the garden, hanging out with her dog, trying new recipes, drinking copious amounts of mint tea, eating chocolate and volunteer work in the community. She lives in Northport, NY, a village on the Long Island Sound very much like the settings of her stories. Anne loves to hear from readers. Answering their messages is definitely another favorite distraction in her day.
