Book 1 in A Crochet Mystery series. The main character is Molly Pink. She's a widow who is trying her best to move on with her life and focus on herself for once. She works at a quaint bookstore as an event coordinator. One of the groups that meets regularly at the bookstore is the Tarzana Hooker...
I liked the main character, Molly Pink, but she seems almost too good to be true - excellent cook, employee, organizer, and crime-fighter with 2 men competing over her. Doesn't she have a flaw? I enjoyed learning more about Molly's co-workers and children. The book-signing scenes are comical a...
The Tarzana crochet group are waitng for a book launch and the announcement of the real author. But there is a missing person - Molly's neighbor who had an investment club. There is also William writer of children's books hanging at the book store-where Adele is his girlfriend. Molly searches ...
We all have our guilty pleasures, and mine is cozy craft mysteries. Patterns and recipes in the back, reliably quaint setting, baked goods popping up every thirty pages, unlikely friendships forged over stitching/quilting/knitting -- it is an escape to a world where you need only worry about gau...
Hechtman is back up to speed in episode 6 in the life of Molly Pink, who is asked to investigate after CeeCee's niece is implicated in the murder of her supervisor (who got a job as a production assistant on a popular talk show.) It so happens Molly was there when the lady died and is fairly sur...
“How’s Lucinda? Is she mad at me? Why is she mad at me?” he asked. The cook had already left, and the place would have been mine, except that Tag didn’t make a move to leave. “She’ll get over it,” I said. I looked over at the dessert case. There was a half of a chocolate c...
My early bird retreater’s cell phone might not work to make calls, but the camera function was still fine. She was all aflutter about how impressed her husband would be that she’d met a real baseball star. Even when I walked away, I could hear her excited voice. The grounds were busy with people ...
Dane said. We were the only ones left inside The Bank. “I’m impressed at what you figured out. One of them could have killed Nicole if it wasn’t suicide and it didn’t turn out that they all had alibis for the time when she died.” He put his hand on my arm in a supportive manner. ...
Dinah suggested. We’d gone to a party store to pick up the paper goods. “I feel terrible, knowing what I know and not doing anything about it. Even if Barry hasn’t found any concrete evidence, I’m sure he’s still grilling Paxton Cline. I worry,” I said, letting my voice tr...
The animals were waiting by the door, full of reproach. Even Blondie had come out of her chair to join them. I gave the dogs a run in the yard, and the cats were content with some attention and having a new layer of dry cat food added to their bowls. What a night, I though...
After all the fuss to get her more of Izabelle’s supplies for the workshops, Adele had complained there was too much clutter and insisted I take back one carton. I opened the door to Izabelle’s room and took it inside. A copy of A Subtle Touch of Crochet fell out of the box. When I picked it up, ...
Mason was on my mind. He’d gotten back in town late the night before and called on the way back from the airport. He wanted to come over. But I could hear the exhaustion in his voice, and I was concerned about the yarn show starting the next day. It was not the time for a big reunion. ...
“It never occurred to me that Kelly didn’t want us to see who came to the door,” Dinah said. She reminded me that we’d thought of Kelly answering the door while on our trip to the dollar store, but in all the commotion over the dollar-of-the-hour special, we’d gotten distracted and dropped it. I’...
