Every stitch tells a story. Some stories get you killed.

For over a decade, the Chattering Needles have gathered every week in Gloamington—knitting, embroidering, and sharing secrets. They had one rule: what's said in the circle, stays in the circle.



Someone broke it.

When one of their own is found dead, the needles go silent. And so does everyone else . . .

Was it the victim who let something slip outside the circle? Or did the secrets shared about her seal her fate? With a mysterious drifter lurking at the edges of town and a tangle of husbands, rivals, and old grudges to unravel, the suspect list is anything but short.

Now, Ella Bloom and Malcolm Fawkes must pick apart every thread, including the spelled one woven into the murder itself. But as Ella hunts a killer hiding among Gloamington's most tight-knit women, she's still being hunted herself.

Can Ella and Malcolm stitch together the truth before the murderer strikes again? Or will the secrets buried in that circle prove too deadly to unravel?
