Skeins and Secrets
A Maeve Lynch Knitting Mystery
Book Two in the Maeve Lynch Knitting Mysteries.
A cozy Irish mystery set in Dublin’s vibrant crafting scene, where competition runs deep and secrets are tightly wound.
The Fáilte Fiber Festival is the highlight of the knitting calendar. Designers compete for prestige, pride, and bragging rights. Until one of them turns up dead.
With gossip flying, rivalries exposed, and sabotage lurking behind friendly smiles, Maeve Lynch once again finds herself in the middle of a mystery she never asked for. This time, the motives are sharper, the stakes higher, and the fiber community anything but cozy.
As clues begin to surface, Maeve realizes that winning is not the only thing people will kill for.
Can be enjoyed on its own. No need to start at Book 1.
