Crafts and Life

Fall is usually a relaxing time in Sea Harbor, but it’s turning out to be a busy season for Izzy Chambers Perry. Not only is she helping the Seaside Knitters make a magnificent throw to celebrate the fortieth wedding anniversary of her aunt and uncle, but she and her husband are finally selling the cottage she lived in before she got married and had a darling baby girl. To Izzy’s surprise, newcomer Julia Ainsley seems determined to buy the home—although she’s never set foot inside.
 
But on the day of the open house, things take a dark turn. A body is uncovered in the cottage’s backyard. When the police find Julia’s name and phone number in the victim’s pocket, this slender thread of evidence makes her a person of interest. Soon the spotlight of suspicion widens to include old friends and town leaders as a tragic happening, long buried in the sleepy seaside town, is slowly brought to the surface.
 
Before the joyful anniversary celebration can be realized, the Seaside Knitters must work to unravel the real reason Julia Ainsley has come to their town—and the tangled and troubled ties from the past that bind friends and townsfolk together.

Another great story by Sally Goldenbaum!

Sea Harbor has a visitor in the form of Julia (Jules) Ainsley and she seems to be setting the town about it's ears, Danny is spending a LOT of time with her and Cass isn't happy, then she decides to buy Izzy's old cottage – sight unseen!  On the morning of the open house (Izzy and Sam are determined to do things right) Jules is found with a dead body – the dead body of the well liked bartender at the local restaurant (well bartender and part owner) she is suddenly suspect #1 in the eyes of the town, well not ALL the town, the knitters, Mary Pisano and Rebecca Early are all convinced she is being set up (even Cass doesn't believe she is guilty!)

Now Jules has to prove her innocence and the real culprit needs to be found so that Nell and Ben's 40th wedding anniversary can go off without a hitch.
