Danger at the Sheepdog Trials : A Northwoods Knitting Mystery

About Danger at the Sheepdog Trials : A Northwoods Knitting Mystery

A summer festival. A champion sheepdog circuit. And a dog-toy mogul with a squeaky toy shoved in her mouth. Julia Holmes came to Frosty Pines, Wisconsin to help her cousin, and stayed because it felt like home. Now she's managing the yarn shop, getting tangled up in Maple Hill Knitters drama, and cautiously figuring out what exactly is happening with log-cabin architect Owen Peters. It's a quiet life. She's starting to like it. Then the annual sheepdog trials roll into town, flashy dog-toy mogul Marti Kessler turns up dead beside a shepherd's crook, and Frosty Pines stops being quiet. Marti had enemies the way border collies have energy: enthusiastically and in every direction. With Blu the Australian Shepherd already on the scent and the Maple Hill Knitters constitutionally incapable of minding their own business, Julia finds herself pulling at threads that lead somewhere darker than she expected: into the festival's competitive underbelly, a web of financial grudges, and secrets that someone is willing to kill twice to protect. Because when a second body surfaces and someone breaks into Julia's yarn shop, it becomes clear the sheepdog trials are just the cover story. The real competition has been happening behind the scenes all along. Can Julia flush out the killer before Frosty Pines' favorite summer tradition becomes its most infamous? Danger at the Sheepdog Trials is a warm, sharp, and thoroughly charming Midwestern cozy perfect for fans of Maggie Sefton, Amanda Flower, and Laurie Cass. Packed with Northwoods Wisconsin atmosphere, knitting-circle camaraderie, a scene-stealing Australian Shepherd, and slow-burn romance that's finally starting to simmer.
