Pamela Paterson and the Knit and Nibble ladies have plenty of talents that don't revolve around yarn. But their penchant for patterns has led to a dangerous hobby they just can't quit—unraveling murders.

Most times of the year, the tight-knit community gardens in quaint Arborville, New Jersey, overflow with seasonal vegetables and herbs. But who planted the dead body? Farm-to-table enthusiast Jenny Miller had a cookbook in the works when she was suddenly found strangled by a circular knitting needle in her own plot. Now, the pressure is on Pamela and her neighbor Bettina as they weave together clues in search of the person who kept Jenny's renowned heirloom plants—and budding career—from growing. With suspects and victims cropping up like weeds, it'll take a whole lot more than green thumbs and creative minds this spring to entangle the crafty culprit . . .

Knitting tips and delicious recipe included!

      The murder rate continues to climb in the charming New Jersey town of Arborville. Widow Pamela Paterson and her pal Bettina Fraser, who reports for the local paper, have been instrumental in solving several crimes. So when Jenny Miller is found in her community garden plot, strangled with a circular knitting needle, the two spring into sleuthing mode. The murder is the talk of their Knit and Nibble group, and there's much information to chew over as they search for a suspect. Pamela and Bettina quietly question several fellow gardeners Jenny had quarreled with to determine whether any of them are also knitters. Meanwhile, Pamela takes in Jenny's shy cat and ponders accepting a date from a college professor while she joyfully welcomes her daughter, Penny, home from college for the summer. Since Penny's no fan of her mother's sleuthing, Pamela keeps it low-key, using Bettina's job as an excuse to ask questions. When Jenny's mother is murdered in the same way, some of the suspects can be eliminated. That would make it easier to pinpoint the killer if only garden disputes were a realistic motive for murder. Winkling out the real motive is no easy job until a sudden flash of memory gives Pamela just the clue she needs. Food and clothing headline a well-written, meagerly plotted mystery presumably aimed at foodies and fashionistas.
