Felted Felony The: A Cozy...

Hang Nguyen

🧶 Felting artist and wool shop owner Felicity Felt is hosting a wet felting workshop when the workshop's celebrity instructor—a notoriously harsh critic of traditional techniques—is found dead in her studio, smothered by a massive pile of improperly felted wool. The police suspect a tragic allergic reaction, but Felicity notices the wool has been deliberately over-felted and the victim's critique notes contain coded symbols about technique sabotage. With her workshop canceled and the felting community in a tangled mess, Felicity must needle her way to the truth. Assisted by her felting circle and the handsome textile scientist analyzing fiber bonding, Felicity uncovers a scheme involving wool substitution, fraudulent fiber content, and a plot to undermine traditional felters. From suspicious shrinkage patterns that reveal chemical tampering to fiber scales that don't match the stated wool type, every matted fiber tells a story. But when Felicity discovers the victim was systematically sabotaging other artists' work to eliminate competition, she realizes the killer is protecting artistic community more valuable than any felted creation. With the national felting exhibition approaching and the real saboteur still needling the community, Felicity must felt together the evidence before her own reputation gets permanently matted.
