Daisy left the hustle and bustle of the big city to a small harbor town life, inheriting her grandmother's yarn shop.
The Bitch & Stitch Club accepted her with open arms, alongside sharing knowledge in knitting knowledge.
A mystery unfolds with the spirit of "Goonies" from a hidden map, marking the letter X upon the lighthouse island shoreline, including cryptic notations inside her grandmother's diary.
Stakes begin to rise when the bones of a 40 year old missing lighthouse keeper reach out of the tides, and a local salvage diver is no longer breathing.
Can an old watchman's cap knitting pattern reveal secrets from the past?
Will Daisy solve the knit/purl code in time to catch the killer?
What is possibly hidden under X?
Good read, even though repetitive wording throughout the book.
The author paints scenery to the point where I can taste the salt in the air and cringe from the frigid weather.
All in all, an amateur sleuth against a hidden world of danger.

A reminder that the Goodreads ranking is that a 2-star rating means the book was OK. I chose this rating because I didn't engage with it. The characters didn't jump off the page for me and I wasn't compelled to keep reading because I found the story riveting. I did keep reading though.
This is also a reminder that just because I thought this book was only "OK", doesn't mean you won't love it. My 2-star read might be your next 5-star one. Judge books based on your reading enjoyment and experience of them.
