Publisher Description
Molly Pink and her pals, the Tarzana Hookers, are ready to bring the craft of crochet to the masses. But when one of their members finds herself the prime suspect in a murder, the Hookers are going to have to switch their focus to fighting her bad rap…
Molly and her friends can’t wait to get more people hooked on crochet at the annual SoCal Knit Style Show, where Shedd & Royal has been granted a vendor booth. In the past, the show has always been about knitting, and this is the first year there’ll be crochet classes and a crochet competition.
The show’s organizer is K. D. Kirby, publisher of several knitting magazines and owner of a yarn store that caters to an elite Beverly Hills crowd. Everyone is shocked when K.D. doesn’t show up for the opening reception, but that’s nothing compared to how they feel when she’s finally found—dead in her hotel suite.
Suspicion immediately falls on Adele, one of the Tarzana Hookers, who locked horns with K.D., and whose handmade crochet hook is found at the murder scene. Certain that Adele’s been framed, Molly starts her own investigation, hoping to get their pal off the hook and find a killer before another guest checks out…

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Hechtman's solid ninth crochet mystery (after 2013's Better or Worsted) finds Molly Pink and the Tarzana Hookers tangled in a crisis at the SoCal Knit Style Show, where for the first time the Shedd & Royal store is invited to exhibit. Adding crochet to the popular annual knitting show increases tension between crocheters and knitters until the simmering anger leads to the murder of the show's organizer. Molly's ex-boyfriend, homicide detective Barry Greenberg, presses her to keep out of the ensuing investigation, but when suspicions falls on one of her hookers, Adele Abrams, she feels she must clear Adele and uphold the hookers' reputation. Meanwhile, Molly's list of potential suspects expands until no one feels safe and there may not be a next year for the crochet contingent. Crochet fans will love the patterns in the back, and others will enjoy unraveling the knots leading to the killer.
