Josephina Thompson, Jo to her friends, enjoys a peaceful life in the quaint, cozy town of Flatstone, Michigan. Her days are spent caring for her herd of alpacas, managing her yarn shop, and keeping up-to-date on the latest news of the local social scene with her crocheting club. The serenity of her wonderfully bucolic lifestyle is dramatically interrupted, however, when her neighbor is accused of murder.
Jo just can’t believe that the sweet elderly woman she has known her whole life would hurt so much as a fly, let alone a human being, so she decides to do some digging. Will she get tangled up in the investigation like a wayward ball of alpaca yarn?
