Crafts and Life

Pamela has been in merry spirits since her artsy daughter Penny returned home from college for the holidays. But their mother-daughter bonding time gets cut short when a terrified Penny stumbles upon the dumped body of Millicent Farthingale, a wealthy craft shop owner who was popular for all the wrong reasons. From a scheming business partner to a seedy husband several years her junior, Millicent attracted scammers so in love with her assets, they’d toss her down a chimney to get their paws on them. Now, with only a hand-knit red scarf connecting the killer to the crime, Pamela and the Knit and Nibblers could use some extra creativity as they find out who’s really naughty or nice in Arborville—because going up against a looming culprit is DIY or die!

Ah Christmas, a time for families to get together and Peace and Goodwill to all, well that is the theory at any rate! In practice it appears that murder not goodwill is on the menu.  Pamela's daughter Penny is home from college and whilst Pamela is over at her friend Bettina's house decorating Christmas Cookies, Penny has decided to go for a walk to do some sketching.  What Penny does NOT expect is to find a dead body! Pamela, Bettina and Bettina's husband Wilfred rush to her side and Bettina suddenly realises that she knew the dead woman.  Now this has become personal and Pamela. along with Bettina, has put on her virtual deerstalker hat again and is determined to find out who will be getting coal in their prison issue stocking this year.
