Crafts and Life

Seaside Knitter Birdie Favazza has long loved knitting, but lately she’s taken on a new challenge—making a family farm operational again. With help from friends, Lambswool Farm is now up and running, with thriving crops and grazing sheep.  In addition, the farm will host rustic, six-course prix fixe dinners plated by local chefs and served on a gorgeous restored harvest table, decorated to perfection with colorful knitted vegetables crafted by Izzy Chambers Perry, her aunt Nell, and the other Seaside Knitters.
 
But on the night of the first meal, everything spins out of control when one of the guests, Seaside Harbor’s family physician, is found dead on the property. It seems that behind Dr. Alan Hamilton’s friendly bedside manner was a man worth killing.
 
Soon the town is gossiping and pointing fingers at all possible suspects—including the women at Lambswool Farm. Now the Seaside Knitters must join together to uncover the truth in Dr. Hamilton’s complicated past—and restore peace to town and country alike.

When a man breaks down outside Lambswool Farm he ends up staying in Seaside Harbor for a while waiting for his car to be fixed, he doesn't say much about himself other than the fact he is a doctor and his father has recently died and so he is travelling, most people seem to like him but a couple are not so sure, Glenn Mackensie has made himself popular with Angelo Garozzo mind you as when he broke down he ended up fixing the tractor on the farm (his car was a step too far though), the farm has been brought back from the brink of ruin and there are plans for it to be an organic, fairly self sustaining restaurant (well once a month it will host a fixed dinner), Birdie is one of those that likes Glenn and so she invites him to the trial run dinner, he has got on well with the local family doctor and also with Sam Perry so it seems he will fit in well.  No one expects Dr Alan to keel over at the end of the meal though and die the next day in hospital, granted he had been under some stress but he still seemed reasonably fit, and then they discover he has been poisoned, now fingers are pointing here, there and everywhere and the seaside knitters need to unravel the clues to find out what happened and to give more than one person closure.
