A HOLIDAY YARN

Book ID/图书代码: 06830011B45960

English Summary/英文概要: A special event in the national bestselling mystery series! Craft away the holiday season with the Seaside Knitters.

With the Seaside Knitters’ help, Mary Pisano converts her charming inherited home into a B&B. Her first week is booked by her very own family, in town to discuss their grandfather’s will. She’s hoping the tranquility of the setting will smooth over ill feelings among family members. But when her cousin Pam-a Sea Harbor, Massachusetts, native-is found murdered, she realizes she was dead wrong...

With the holiday cheer severely disrupted, Mary relies on the Seaside Knitters to set things right. They gladly offer their skill for unraveling crime, but it’ll take all their crafty know-how to unravel this deadly tangle.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 在Seaside Knitters的帮助下,Mary Pisano将自己继承的小屋变成了一家供应早餐的旅社。开业的第一个星期,住客是她自己的家人,前来讨论关于祖父遗嘱的问题。她希望通过安静的环境来抚平家人的伤心情绪,但她的侄子Pam在这段时间被谋杀了,她发现自己完全想错了。 假日本来的欢愉情绪被打乱了,Mary需要仰赖Seaside Knitters将事情拉回正轨。他们很乐意将自己的技能用于揭开谜团,但他们必须竭尽全力才能解开这一次的事件。(LYR)

Awards/获奖情况:这个发生在圣诞节期间的故事是Goldenbaum笔下第四本发生在Izzy Chambers和其他那些Sea Harbor伙伴之间的故事。当“有争议的时尚编辑Pamela Pisano在自家庄园被发现握着手枪去世之后,这看起来好像是很清晰的自杀案。但她的侄女Mary Pasino近期继承了这幢房子并改建成了旅馆。Mary雇佣的一个油漆工摔下梯子死了,但这场事故却仍有疑云。确实有一个杀手正在行动。而那些织着毛衣的女性朋友们需要从古老的回忆和警方的记录中找出蛛丝马迹来解决这件神秘事件。(Publishers Weekly)

The fourth Seaside Knitters mystery focuses on Nell, knitting shop owner Izzy’s aunt. Christmas will soon be coming to Sea Harbor, and Mary Pisano has been renovating her grandfather’s estate with plans to open as a bed-and-breakfast. However, when the Pisano family gathers in Sea Harbor for their annual family meeting, things don’t go smoothly for Mary, and it gets worse when cousin Pamela is found dead on the B&B’s back porch. Nell, Birdie, and Cass try to help Mary, even as Izzy wrestles with her own, more personal mystery (longtime boyfriend Sam is behaving secretively).There’s no shortage of suspects and a lot of family secrets to unravel. New readers will have no problem keeping up with events and people, although they may want to go back and read the previous series entries. Goldenbaum’s cozy mystery features appealing characters whose relationships will matter to the reader, and the knitting details may inspire not just knitting but also helping the KasCare charity. ---Kat Kan, From Booklist

Death puts a damper on the Christmas festivities in Goldenbaum’s engrossing fourth cozy featuring Izzy Chambers and the other members of her Sea Harbor, Mass., knitting circle (after April 2010’s Moon Spinners). When "controversial fashion editor" Pamela Pisano turns up dead with a pistol in her hand on the snow-covered back porch of the Pisano family estate, Ravenswood-by-the-Sea, it appears a clear case of suicide. Particularly distraught is Mary Pisano, Pamela’s cousin, who recently inherited Ravenswood and is in the process of converting the house into a bed-and-breakfast. When a painter Mary hired falls to his death off a ladder onto some granite rocks, this accident is more than a little suspicious. Of course, a killer is at work, and the knitters must tap old memories and old police records before they can bring the mystery to its unexpected conclusion. (Nov.) ---From Publishers Weekly
