  🧶 Yarn shop owner and knitting instructor Wooly Winthrop is hosting her weekly knitting class when the town's most demanding customer is found strangled with a rare, hand-dyed yarn skein from her own inventory. The police suspect a crime of passion, but Wooly notices the yarn has been deliberately tangled in a complex knot used by sailors and the victim's knitting project contains a coded message in Morse code via knit and purl stitches. With her shop's reputation unraveling faster than a cheap sweater, Wooly must cast on her own investigation. Assisted by her loyal knitting group and the handsome sheep farmer who supplies her wool, Wooly uncovers a tangled web involving yarn smuggling, rare breed sheep theft, and a counterfeit yarn operation. From suspicious dye lots that reveal chemical anomalies to fiber content that doesn't match the label, every skein tells a story. But when Wooly discovers the victim was blackmailing local crafters about their yarn stash secrets and pattern thefts, she realizes the killer is protecting a scheme more twisted than any cable knit. With the annual Fiber Festival approaching and the real culprit still spinning lies, Wooly must weave together the clues before her own thread gets permanently cut.

  It's been three months since 13-year-old Edie solved her mother's murder and became a supersleuth.
  One evening Edie is babysitting for a neighbour, Donna, who has repeatedly caught sight of an estranged friend from overseas. What is troubling Donna, however, is that it seems she's been in the same place at the same time as this friend on a number of occasions over the past few days. Meanwhile, Edie's school friend Harry Coranger is suspicious of his stepfather, who has become involved with ultra-radical anti-capitalists who, furious at the state of the planet and its greed-fuelled decline, are plotting an audacious double atrocity.
  Utilising her brave instincts and skills as a supersleuth for hire, Edie sets about resolving the mysteries and averting the crises that she is confronted with - as she comes to realise that things often happen outside of chance, and outside of our understanding and control.
  To solve each mystery, Edie must harness the Three Principles, a new approach to understanding how the mind works that is currently proving invaluable in improving mental health and well-being in children internationally.

  The Final Problem is a short story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle featuring his detective character Sherlock Holmes. It was first published in Strand Magazine under the title "The Adventure of the Final Problem" in December 1893. It appears in book form as part of the collection The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. This story, set in 1891, introduced Holmes's archenemy, the criminal mastermind Professor James Moriarty. Conan Doyle later ranked "The Final Problem" fourth on his personal list of the twelve best Holmes stories.Holmes arrives at Dr. John Watson's residence one evening in a somewhat agitated state and with grazed and bleeding knuckles. Much to Watson's surprise, he had apparently escaped three separate murder attempts that day after a visit from Professor Moriarty, who warned Holmes to withdraw from his pursuit of justice against him to avoid any regrettable outcome. First, just as he was turning a street corner, a cab suddenly rushed towards him and Holmes just managed to leap out of the way in time. Second, while Holmes was walking along the street, a brick fell from the roof of a house, just missing the detective. He then called the police to search the whole area but could not prove that it was anything other than an accident. Finally, on his way to Watson's house, he was attacked by a thug armed with a cosh. Holmes managed to overcome his assailant and handed him to the police but admitted that there was virtually no hope of proving that the man was in the employ of the criminal mastermind.Famous works of the author Arthur Conan Doyle: A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, The Valley of Fear, His Last Bow, The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes, Stories of Sherlock Holmes, The Lost World.
