A Tangled Yarn (Yarn Retreat Series #5)

by Betty Hechtman

Overview

Betty Hechtman knits up murder and mayhem in the latest in the national bestselling Yarn Retreat Mystery series.

Casey Feldstein has her hands full with preparations at the Vista Del Mar hotel on the scenic Monterey Peninsula as another yarn retreat begins. The retreaters will be thrown for a loop this time, learning the trendy art of arm knitting and finger crocheting.  

But not everyone is enthusiastic about trying something new, and Casey is forced to come up with an alternative craft for her less adventurous pupils. Things go from worst to worsted when a travel writer from a neighboring retreat group is found dead in his room among a sea of feathers. When one of the owners of Vista Del Mar pleads for help, Casey gets hooked into the case and must unravel a delicate skein of secrets to catch a killer.

INCLUDES KNITTING PATTERNS AND A RECIPE!

From the Publisher

Casey Feldstein and her knitting group encounter mystery writers at a conference in Book 5 of the entertaining Yarn Retreat Mystery series. Narrator Margaret Strom reprises her role as Casey, a relatable 30-something California transplant and amateur sleuth. Strom draws listeners in as if they’re her confidants as a homicide investigation full of red herrings and personal complications unfolds. Casey juggles friendship with her ex-boyfriend, simmering chemistry with a local police officer, and plans for a new breakfast muffin as she helps untangle the case. Yarn enthusiasts, townsfolk, and recurring characters are depicted with distinct personalities through Strom’s varied accents, pitch, and tone. When Casey discovers the culprit, it comes as a plausible surprise. Listeners are left anticipating future installments featuring ongoing town drama. J.R.T. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
