  It's mid-Winter in the Cornish seaside town of St Foy. In the midst of a family birthday party Emily Duggan, missing for three years and presumed dead after murdering her best friend Star Bright, arrives unannounced. To the bewilderment and shock of her family, Emily insists she didn't do it and has an alibi, but refuses to answer any questions. 
   
  Led by Belle Harrington, the Curiosity Club, including Emily's aunt Bette, start their own investigation to find the real culprit, as the police re-open the unsolved mystery of Star Bright's murder. 
   
  As the case progresses, old, uncomfortable secrets re-surface. Who was the real Star Bright? Could finding the truth about her past reveal her killer? If her killer wasn't Emily, could it have been one of the four students with whom Emily and Star shared accommodation at the eerie, now abandoned house on the Moor nicknamed 'Bedlam Heights.' Or was it another family member? Or someone from Star's bizarre past? 
   
  Belle and the Curiosity Club pose these and many more uncomfortable questions, as certain residents of the town become quietly but increasingly determined the case will never be solved.

  🧶 Knitting shop owner and yarn expert Purl Watson is hosting her weekly knitting circle when the town's most competitive knitter is found dead in her shop—smothered by a mountain of luxury yarn from her own knitting basket. The police suspect a bizarre accident, but Purl notices the yarn has been deliberately tangled in a complex pattern and the victim's unfinished project contains a coded message using dropped stitches. With her shop's reputation unraveling and the knitting community in turmoil, Purl must cast on her own investigation. Assisted by her loyal knitting group and the handsome wool mill owner who supplies her yarn, Purl uncovers a scheme involving yarn substitution fraud, counterfeit luxury fibers, and a black market for rare breed wool. From suspicious dye lots that reveal chemical inconsistencies to fiber content that doesn't match the label, every skein tells a story. But when Purl discovers the victim was blackmailing fellow knitters about their yarn stash secrets and pattern plagiarism, she realizes the killer is protecting a reputation more fragile than lace weight yarn. With the annual Knit-a-Thon charity event approaching and the real culprit still weaving lies, Purl must knit together the clues before her own story gets permanently bound off.
