Wanted: Cat mum to manage a yarn store, corral two curious cats, all the while being tangled up in murderous mayhem and mystery. A smart woman would dump her cheating ex, move from the city, and give herself a chance for a well-deserved do-over. A smarter woman-smarter than me, anyway-wouldn't jump out of that same frying pan and return to Cape Discovery, a seaside village where her family is the nuttiest of all the nut-ball residents. I'm a former high school counsellor, middle-child peacemaker, and current curator of lots of squishy/fuzzy goodness at my granddad's little yarn store. Temporary assistant. Until I decide what to do with the rest my life. There's only one knotty problem to untangle first. The knife sticking out of the most unpopular man in town, and the police detective trying to pin the murder on the donkey-otherwise known as my younger brother. With a pair mischievous cats determined to be underfoot and a craft group of Serial Knitters and Happy Hookers wanting the inside scoop, a girl could lose her mind. And if the killer has their way, maybe even my life... Tessa Wakefield has her hands full juggling a cozy craft store, her crazy family, and two men who'd rather poke out their eyes than describe themselves as cute. Which they totally are. Cute, charismatic, and occasionally on her mind when she's not stumbling over dead bodies and using her newfound sleuthing skills to track down murderers. Lucky she's an excellent multi-tasker because digging beneath Cape Discovery's surface can unearth secrets that kill.

After her Nana Dee-Dee passes away Tessa Wakefield returns home to help her Grandpa run Unraveled. While adjusting to being back in Cape Discovery Tessa finds herself wrapped up in a murder...one that was discovered when she found the body...one that her brother Sean is a prime suspect of. Can she, and inherited kitty siblings Kit & Pearl, find the real murderer before her brother is arrested? Or is she putting herself, and those she loves, in harm's way by poking around where she isn't wanted?
OK now THAT was fun. I was laughing a lot with this cozy as it was peppered with nerdy humor that fits me so well. Plus kitty siblings?? What isn't to love there. What a great way to spend a few hours of my weekend. Looking forward to more in this series.
