Spin a yarn…at your own risk
Everyone at Bless Your Art in Sweet River, Texas, is excited about the Yarn Goddess (yes, that’s her real name) coming to town. Ainsley McGregor has set up a special event at the local community center, but when old Mrs. Whedon doesn’t see eye-to-eye with the Goddess about using quality yarn, a fight breaks out. Who knew the octogenarian had ninja moves like that?
It’s all fun and games until George Clooney, Ainsley’s Great Dane, finds Ms. Yarn’s dead body in a booth at Bless Your Art. Now the prime suspect is Mrs. Whedon, and while she’s not the easiest woman to get along with, there’s no way she’s the killer. At least, Ainsley doesn’t think so. As this yarn unravels, Ainsley and her quirky friends learn some interesting things about the case and the Goddess’s checkered past. But there’s a killer on the loose, and George may be the only thing protecting Ainsley from certain death.

The Ideal Weekend Curl-Up: Solving A Case for the Yarn Maker
A Case for the Yarn Maker is the second book in the Ainsley McGregor mystery series by Candace Havens. Set in the small town of Sweet River, Texas, the story follows Ainsley, a former English professor who now runs an artisan market. When a famous yarn expert is found dead during a community event, Ainsley gets involved in solving the mystery—especially when her friend Mrs. Whedon becomes the main suspect.
One thing I really liked about this book is how cozy and welcoming the small-town setting feels. Even though there’s a murder mystery at the center of the plot, the story never feels too dark or scary. Ainsley is a smart and caring character, and I enjoyed how determined she was to help her friend and figure out the truth. I also loved the presence of her Great Dane, George Clooney, who adds fun and personality to the story.
In my opinion, this book is a good balance of mystery and charm. It kept me interested the whole way through, and I appreciated the mix of suspense and lighthearted moments. Some parts were a little predictable, but I still enjoyed the journey and the interactions between the characters.
Overall, A Case for the Yarn Maker is a fun and engaging read, perfect for anyone who enjoys mysteries without too much violence. I’d recommend it to readers who like clever stories with strong female leads and a cozy setting.
