Unraveled in Millhaven (1987)

About this item

<p><strong>A Yarn Shop. A Missing Cord. A Killer Who Knows Her Inventory.</strong></p> <p>Jolene Mercury came back to Millhaven to run her late aunt's yarn shop — not to solve a murder.</p> <p>When her landlord turns up dead in the alley behind the waterfront block, Jolene isn't exactly devastated. Rupert Kell was the kind of man who stayed technically within his rights while being humanly unkind, and half the town had reason to want him gone. But when Officer Prentice arrives at Purl and Plenty and tells her the murder weapon was a length of cerise wool cord — cord that matches her missing stock — Jolene realizes she has a problem.</p> <p>She has motive. She has no alibi. And someone chose her cord deliberately.</p> <p>With her best friend Delia sitting in a police station and the evidence pointing in all the wrong directions, Jolene does what any reasonable woman would do. She starts a suspect list, talks it through with a ball of yarn named Gerald, and begins asking questions nobody asked her to ask.</p> <p>But the closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous the answer becomes. Because whoever unraveled Rupert Kell's life has been watching Jolene's shop, learning her habits, and counting on her to take the blame.</p> <p><strong>Can Jolene untangle the truth before Millhaven's killer pulls the last thread loose?</strong></p> <p><strong>Or will coming home cost her everything she just got back?</strong></p>
