After retrieving fresh lobster nets from a local laundromat, Cass Halloran rushes to attend a last-minute gathering with her knitting circle. But Cass can't stop worrying about the lonely boy she saw hanging around the dryers and the school uniform he left behind in a hurry. When she and her friends return the lost clothing the next day, they find the child and his younger sister alone, seemingly abandoned by their mother. The knitters decide to facilitate a family reunion, but, when the death of a recluse from the edge of town occurs, they end up investigating a crime instead-especially once they discover that the missing mother and one of their own are tied to both the victim's hidden fortune and her murder... Before scandalous secrets break bonds and rumors tear Sea Harbor apart, the Seaside Knitters must string together the truth about the victim all while preventing a greedy murderer from making another move!

      When unassuming Dolores Cardozo is found dead in her home and single-mom Kayla Stewart vanishes, the Seaside Knitters—Cass Halloran, Izzy Perry, Nell Endicott, and Birdie Favazza—shift into sleuthing mode, in Goldenbaum’s comforting 12th cozy set in Sea Harbor, Mass. (after 2016’s Murder at Lambswool Farm). The four friends discover some unsuspected truths in the course of investigating Dolores’s murder and figuring out what happened to Kayla. Meanwhile, they take time to enjoy a martini, a glass of champagne, or just a nice cup of coffee. As usual, the mystery element is slight, with clues doled out in between family reunions, meals, and walks on the beach. Goldenbaum has created an idyllic world in which good friends, good works, and discussing the passing of time and changes in the community are as important as solving crimes. A knitting pattern for socks rounds out the volume. Agents: Christina Hogrebe and Andrea Cirillo, Jane Rotrosen Agency.

      What starts as someone simply doing a good deed develops into a twisty tale of murder, scandal, and crime that a group of friends and knitters gets together to investigate. Julie Mckay narrates with style, characterizing the numerous characters young and old, male and female with ease. In particular, her voicing of one of the main characters as she develops from being extremely reserved and distrustful to being more receptive to friendship is notable. As the members of "The Seaside Knitting Group" meet to talk through their investigations, Mckay's delivery reflects the cozy atmosphere intended for their endeavors.
