Business is booming for Libby Beckett and her fabulous Maryland shop, aptly named Y.A.R.N., but when a town festival brings a fatality with it, Libby gets all tangled up in murder.
As spring comes to Collinstown, the village launches a food festival to draw a new group of tourists. Libby, proud owner of Y.A.R.N., has planned a yarn event to provide an alternative option to a foodie weekend. Artisan fiber dyer Julie Wilson—known for her work with animal-friendly, plant-based knitting fibers such as bamboo and hemp as well as her brilliant use of color—will hopefully draw a crowd with a special dyeing workshop.
The festival begins, but it draws more than crowds. First a flock of sheep parades down the street, herded by farmers protesting Julie’s antiwool stance. Then Julie’s celebrity chef sister appears, and the siblings resume a long-standing rivalry. Despite all this, Julie’s workshop has sold out. Libby is thrilled, and they’re preparing for a full house. But the night before the event, Julie is found alone in the warehouse event space—dead. The witty “Watch Julie Wilson Dye” workshop title now has a terrible new meaning—and it’s up to Libby to catch a crafty killer.
* This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF of knitting pattern for the washcloths mentioned in the book.

      Collinstown, MD, yarn shop owner, Libby, is bringing vegan yarn artist Julie to her spring arts festival, which she's hosting as an alternative to the town's food festival. Known for being an outspoken animal rights activist, Julie draws the ire of area sheep farmers who protest her attendance at the festival. Julie's sister, with whom she's on rocky terms, is also attending the food festival as a celebrity chef. Things are tense, but fine until Julie ends up dead on the first night of the festival, and Libby must find the crafty killer. Pleiter's (On Skein of Death) second installment in the "Riverbank Knitting Mystery" series is a delightful listen with narrator Brittany Presley bringing Libby and all of the other town inhabitants to life. VERDICT Following the simple recipe of most cozy mysteries, this plays into the tropes while also providing a story with enough murder, humor, and romance to keep listeners engaged.--Elyssa Everling
