But when a shocking murder disrupts the cozy weekend filled with yarn and camaraderie, Hazel finds herself unraveling more than just stitches.

The victim, a well-known figure in the industry with a complicated past, had more than a few enemies. The retreat's picturesque setting now feels like a web of deception. Hazel has no intention of playing detective until a series of unsettling clues pull her deeper into the mystery. As she follows the twisted threads of the case, she discovers that everyone has something to hide. With a tangled mix of secrets, hidden grudges, and a growing suspicion that the killer might be closer than she thinks, Hazel must decide whether to risk everything she's worked for or walk away and let the truth remain buried.
