About this ebook
Romantic entanglements and handcrafted murder tie the Black Sheep knitters in knotswhen the local farmers’ market becomes a haven for a killer . . .
Phoebe Myers, Black Sheep Knitting Shop’s assistant manager, finally comes out from behind the counter to sell her own creations—Socks by Phoebe—at the Plum Harbor Farmers’ and Crafts Market, a lively, colorful venue that draws shoppers from miles around. But her excitement cools when she learns the previous tenant of her booth, farmer Jimmy Hooper, committed suicide. She’s barely raised her Grand Opening banner when Hooper’s death is upgraded to murder.
Phoebe worries that her stall is jinxed when things go from bad to worse. The last person she wants to see, her ex-boyfriend Harry “The Potter” McSweeney, appears in the stall across the aisle to sell his wares. The Black Sheep advise Phoebe to be strong and resist the handsome artist’s spell. But romantic sparks and tempers explode in a very public scene—and a pile of broken pottery. Before Phoebe can get back to business, her stall is trashed, her Facebook page hacked, and another vendor is found dead.
The Black Sheep worry for Phoebe’s safety, especially when Harry becomes the prime suspect in both crimes. Phoebe refuses to believe he’s a killer and is determined to prove him innocent. Her friends are not convinced, but for Phoebe’s sake—and her safety—the Black Sheep puts their wits together to catch the crafty marketplace killer who’s hiding in plain sight . . .

small-business, small-town, law-enforcement, family, family-dynamics, friendship, knitting, amateur-sleuth, cozy-mystery, suitors, murder, murder-investigation***** This one makes me remember why I should do a review before I finish the book! Good thing that the publisher's blurb is so good or I'd get myself in a tangle and do a spoiler (which I think is just rude). Although I have read a couple of books in the series, it was long ago enough that I think that it can stand alone. The characters are so real and the plot is so sneaky and twisty, and don't get me started on the red herrings! I loved it! I requested and received a free temporary ebook copy from Kensington Books via NetGalley. Thank you!
