<b>It's been a hectic holiday season in small town Glen Lake, North Carolina, and after managing her mom's busy needlepoint shop, Nina's Nimble Needle, Shelby Phillips is looking forward to a relaxing January-but a killer has different plans...</b> <p>All of Gwen Lake is ready for a month of restoration-including the actual lake. Every January, the lake level is lowered for dock repairs and other maintenance. This year, however, an unwelcome surprise surfaces: a woman's body...bound with what appears to be needlepoint thread, likely from the Needle's "Holiday Magic" supply... </p><p>To add to the shock, the victim is wearing one of the local yacht club's famous doubloon replicas around her neck, meaning she's a Gwen Laker. Still, who is she? Helen Thompson, creator of the doubloons, retired history teacher, and talented Needle regular, would know best, but unfortunately, she's on a treasure hunting cruise. </p><p>Shelby is looped into the case when a quirky bit of information enables her to help identify the woman...as Helen herself. Why would anyone hurt sweet, widowed Helen? It's a knot Shelby and the shop's stitching group, "Not Your Average Grannies," aka the NYAGs, intend to untangle. </p><p>The pattern gets more intricate when Shelby helps Helen's grumpy stepson and his vexing daughter clear out her craft-filled home-and unravels a trove of secrets. To crack the case, Shelby will have to keep her discoveries to herself. And when two nosy true-crime podcasters show up, she'll need to throw them off the trail, with help from the NYAgs, and the one man she may want a future with--unless a killer snips it short.</p>
