The Tangled Web (A Harmony Creek Cozy Mystery)

🧶 A grandmother with sharp needles. A granddaughter with sharper eyes. A murder that unravels a small town.

In the quiet Southern town of Harmony Creek, life is as neatly stitched as a hand-knit quilt. But when a beloved neighbor is found dead — her wrists bound with sapphire yarn — the perfect pattern begins to unravel.

Enter Mabel Rose, the town’s wise and witty grandmother, known for her endless knitting and sharper instincts. At her side is her granddaughter, Clara Mae, a brilliant autistic teen who sees the world in patterns others miss. Together, they discover that the crime isn’t random — it’s a deliberate design, one that ties back to long-buried secrets and old family feuds.

As Sheriff Thompkins blunders toward his “mob theory,” Mabel and Clara follow the real threads: missing history books, stolen safes, and symbolic knots that reveal the killer’s chilling signature. With every stitch, they uncover a web of deceit threatening to unravel Harmony Creek itself.
