Tassie Hunt just inherited the old Victorian, which had been occupied by a reclusive widow for many years and had a reputation for being haunted. But Tassie would have been unlikely to be spooked since her career involved debunking such paranormal phenomena. Her demise sets off a new flurry of gossip and ghostly speculation in the New Jersey town, of course--and it's tempting to think spirits were indeed involved considering there's zero evidence so far of foul play. A nosy neighbor reports strange lights and sounds, and a man obsessed with the Victorian era starts photographing the place from the street. But it won't take long before Pamela and Bettina are moving in on a killer . . ."-- Provided by publisher.

Summary

Crafting magazine editor Pamela Paterson and her knitting club friends must figure out if old secrets killed the new neighbor in the latest Knit & Nibble Mystery from Peggy Ehrhart...

When Pamela, Bettina, and their friends show up at the Voorhees House to greet its new owner, they're met with a most unwelcome sight- a dead body on the kitchen floor. Tassie Hunt just inherited the old Victorian, which had been occupied by a reclusive widow for many years and had a reputation for being haunted. But Tassie would have been unlikely to be spooked since her career involved debunking such paranormal phenomena.

Her demise sets off a new flurry of gossip and ghostly speculation in the New Jersey town, of course-and it's tempting to think spirits were indeed involved considering there's zero evidence so far of foul play. A nosy neighbor reports strange lights and sounds, and a man obsessed with the Victorian era starts photographing the place from the street. But it won't take long before Pamela and Bettina are moving in on a killer . . .

Kirkus Review

A haunted house and a blueberry pie provide clues to several murders in New Jersey. Longtime friends Pamela Paterson and Bettina Fraser are members of the Knit and Nibble group, who are always willing to help support Arborville activities. When they join the town's welcome committee on a visit to writer Tassie Hunt, who's inherited the allegedly haunted Vorhees House, they find her dead in the kitchen, a whole blueberry pie the only seemingly odd item. Though she was a young woman, Tassie could have died from natural causes, but the police eventually reveal that she was smothered. Both Pamela and Bettina, who's a writer for the Arborville Advocate, are familiar with Det. Lucas Clayborn, who's not pleased to see them. Tassie's next-door neighbor, who's been keeping track of odd noises and flashing lights, subscribes to the haunted house theory. Pamela and Bettina, sure there's another answer, set out to discover the truth. Pamela gets help and support from her love interest, Pete Paterson--it's just a coincidence that they have the same last name--who'd done some handyman work at Vorhees House. Bettina works on the story for the paper while her retired husband keeps everyone well fed with his cooking and baking. When Tassie's boyfriend is also killed, the police suspect a squatter who's been hiding in the attic. The sleuthing ladies, however, think the motive is altogether more complicated. Lovingly detailed descriptions of food, apparel, and knitting projects overpower the mystery in this charming cozy. Copyright (c) Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
