Wanted: Cat mum to manage a yarn store, corral two curious cats, all the while being tangled up in murderous mayhem and mystery.
A smart woman would dump her cheating ex, move from the city, and give herself a chance for a well-deserved do-over. A smarter woman—smarter than me, anyway—wouldn’t jump out of that same frying pan and return to Cape Discovery, a seaside village where her family is the nuttiest of all the nut-ball residents.
I’m a former high school counselor, middle-child peacemaker, and current curator of lots of squishy/fuzzy goodness at my granddad’s little yarn store. Temporary assistant. Until I decide what to do with the rest my life. There’s only one knotty problem to untangle first. The knife sticking out of the most unpopular man in town, and the police detective trying to pin the murder on the donkey—otherwise known as my younger brother. With a pair mischievous cats determined to be underfoot and a craft group of Serial Knitters and Happy Hookers wanting the inside scoop, a girl could lose her mind. And if the killer has their way, maybe even my life...
Tessa Wakefield has her hands full juggling a cozy craft store, her crazy family, and two men who’d rather poke out their eyes than describe themselves as cute. Which they totally are. Cute, charismatic, and occasionally on her mind when she’s not stumbling over dead bodies and using her newfound sleuthing skills to track down murderers. Lucky she’s an excellent multi-tasker because digging beneath Cape Discovery’s surface can unearth secrets that kill.
With all the qualities one looks for in a cozy mystery, this is a delightful start to a new series.
Tessa Wakefield has returned home to help out her family, as well as to get away from a personal relationship disaster. It is time for a fresh start but also a return to her roots.
Her family is full of different personalities, from her brusque mother to her ex-cop, now knitting store owner, grandfather and her only brother who, at thirty years old, has yet to find his place in the world.
And what would returning home be without a nemesis from high school?
When Tessa finds a body she has to prove her brother is not involved, or worse, responsible.
Can she do so without endangering herself? Not likely, even if she is only asking innocent questions.
Secrets lurk even in a town where every one knows each others business.
By the end we find out if Tessa is willing to stay and look forward to what path life takes her in.
Perhaps even a new romance...
