Purls and Poison: A Cozy Knitting Mystery With Recipes and a Small-Town Secret

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

In the charming Vermont town of Hemlock Brook, yarn shop owner Mia Bell thought she knew everyone's secrets. But when beloved baker Iris Pembroke dies under suspicious circumstances, Mia discovers a coded message hidden in a half-finished scarf—seventeen deliberately twisted stitches that form a map pointing to the abandoned Alden Mill.

What begins as curiosity quickly unravels into a deadly investigation stretching back to the bitter textile strike of 1962. With her knitting circle—sharp-tongued Greta, librarian Tess, and pink-haired newcomer Juniper—Mia follows a trail of clues hidden in knitting patterns, old letters, and a secret pact of silence called the Hemlock Pledge. But when the powerful Alden family threatens to bury the truth along with anyone who seeks it, Mia realizes that some threads, once pulled, can unravel an entire town.

Filled with mouthwatering recipes, authentic knitting lore, and the warmth of small-town friendship, Purls and Poison is the first book in a new cozy mystery series that will keep you guessing until the last stitch.
