Yarn Over Yonder: A Cozy Craft & Hobby Mystery

 

Yarn Over Yonder: A Cozy Craft & Hobby Mystery (Junie Harper Craft Mysteries)







The annual Millbrook Pop-Up Craft Fair should be the highlight of Junie Harper's year.

Her booth is ready, her wreath kits are selling fast, and the fair is driving traffic to Harper's Handycrafts just like it does every summer. But when fair organizer Clara Whitting is found dead behind a wall of yarn displays, and her private ledger of vendor secrets goes missing, Junie is pulled into an investigation that threatens everything she's built.

With vendors feuding over booth placements, whispered side deals surfacing from the shadows, and her best friend Nora caught in the crosshairs of suspicion, Junie must decode a trail of booth swaps, color-coded tags, and hidden financial arrangements to unmask a killer hiding among the craft community she loves.

But someone doesn't want the truth to come out. And they're willing to do more than cut a few threads to keep it buried.

YARN OVER YONDER is the second book in The Junie Harper Craft Mysteries, warm, witty cozy mysteries where hands-on hobbies become investigative tools. Perfect for fans of Jenn McKinlay, Ellery Adams, and Paige Shelton.

Can be read as a standalone, but is best enjoyed as part of the series.


From our library hobby class : 

 We have classes on crochet, knitting and needle work.




EASY KNIT DISHCLOTH:

Instructions:
