Spring has reached Plum Harbor, Massachusetts, and the weather isn't the only thing that's changing. Eight months pregnant, Lucy prepares to enter an exciting phase in life while weaving together loose threads from her past. It feels like fate when she reconnects with college friend Rebecca Hurley, whose eclectic Happy Hands Café is the perfect locale for Black Sheep gatherings. But just as charming Rebecca joins their closely knit circle, she's suspected of murder.
It appears to be an accident when Rebecca's writer husband, Colin, is crushed by a fallen bookcase at the café. But his death is quickly determined to be murder. Adding to the horror, police believe Rebecca committed a heinous act of revenge against Colin for planning to end their marriage—a move that would cut off Rebecca's contact with the stepdaughter she adores. Despite the incriminating evidence growing faster than her belly, Lucy is convinced that she must prove her old friend's innocence.
As her due date approaches and a dangerous mystery unravels, Lucy and the Black Sheep shift from knitting baby booties to chasing down the cunning culprit who's always a few steps ahead.

A bunch of sleuthing knitters in small-town Massachusetts become involved in a murder case involving a friend. Though it's not the first time a member of the Black Sheep has been accused of murder, heavily pregnant Lucy Binger finds this threat both a welcome distraction and a provocation to seek the truth. The group often meets at the Happy Hands Caf�, owned by Rebecca Hurley, the college friend Lucy has been getting reacquainted with years after they lost touch. Their two stepdaughters have already become fast friends. Rebecca's husband, Colin, seems an odd duck, but it's still a shock when he's killed by a falling bookcase. The police seize on Rebecca as the likeliest suspect. Lucy, who's a whiz at internet searches, soon turns up some disturbing information on Colin, who'd planned to skip out on Rebecca using money in a hidden bitcoin account. The thriller he was writing is both derivative and boring, but it provides some clues to his demise, beginning with the strong resemblance of the protagonist, a nerdy superhero, to Colin himself. Lucy's determination to follow up these clues in person dismays her friends and especially her veterinarian husband, who worries about her health as they await the birth of their new baby. Her friends, fearing that Rebecca will be arrested if they don't come up with some more plausible suspects, pitch in to help. In the end, it's Lucy's dog who helps solve the complex case. A gal-pal mystery with plenty of twists and turns.COPYRIGHT(2022) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
