"Goldenbaum's writing is clear and evocative ...

The mystery itself is multilayered, with plenty of red herrings to keep a reader on their toes."

​The Seaside Knitters Mystery Series

​
A note on book numbering….
 
I’ve heard from some of you about the confusion when you see the most recent six seaside knitters mystery books,  numbered as 1,2, 3, 4, 5 and the coming 2022 A Dark and Snowy Night. The numbering change is because of a publisher change, but these books follow the first 11 sequentially, so they are actually the 12 through 16 mysteries featuring the Sea Harbor Seaside Knitters. I apologize for any confusion this has caused. (A complete list of the books is available on the books tab of our website here)
