A Fatal Yarn



Pamela Paterson lives in the charming New Jersey town of Arborville. A widow, she misses her daughter who is off at college but keeps busy working from home as an editor for a craft magazine. She is also the founder and leader of the town's knitting club, called Knit and Nibble. Pamela soon discovers that she not only has a talent for knitting; she also has an uncanny knack for solving murders . . .

Pamela Paterson and her Knit and Nibble club must clear the name of one of their knitters when he's accused of murdering the mayor . . .
 
The trees in Arborville, New Jersey, have started sporting sweaters. Part of the trend of public knitting art? Not exactly. An anonymous activist has been wrapping trunks in yarn to cover red X's that mark certain trees for removal by the town so they don't interfere with power lines. When the town's mayor—who supports cutting down the trees—is murdered, Pamela wonders if the tree hugger committed homicide to prevent arborcide. A knitter is arrested, but it's one of Knit and Nibble's own—the harmless Roland DeCamp, who was seen arguing with the mayor. Pamela is sure the police are barking up the wrong tree. With the help of her reporter friend Bettina, she branches off on her own investigation to root out the real killer . . .

Praise for A Fatal Yarn

 Praise for the Knit & Nibble Mystery series by Peggy Ehrhart

"With an unlikely heroine and a knack for finding the "pattern" in the murders, this is a series that will appeal to many cozy fans." -- The Parkersburg News and Sentinel on Died in the Wool

"Ehrhart has done a great job creating a complex mystery, as well as a new "detective" who is all heart. Not only do you receive an intriguing whodunit, but readers will also be given a delicious recipe and knitting tips from a master of the craft." -- Suspense magazine on Murder, She Knit

"It all comes together in a satisfying ending to an enjoyable read. Find directions for knitting a cat
(easier than an aardvark) and a recipe for strawberry shortcake, plus an excerpt from Knit to Kill, at the end of
the book. Pamela and Bettina are a lot of fun. I look forward to reading more of their misadventures." - Kings River Life Magazine on Died in the Wool
