Kill One, Purl Two: A Southern Knitter's Guide to Catching a Thief
Not yet published
Expected 26 Feb 26I thought owning a yarn shop would help me get better deals on my favorite luxury blends. Instead, I'm spending my days protecting high-end inventory from a clever thief who seems to know exactly which skeins are worth stealing.
It's not that I'm the police's prime suspect this time, which is a nice change, but watching someone systematically rob the shop I inherited from my late friend rattles differently. This is my community's business, and when the police investigation stalls, it's up to me to find the answers.
Naturally, I turn to my partner in crime-solving, Rumple, a sassy, talking raccoon who is equal parts rescue and roommate. Except Rumple has discovered the joys of binge-watching television and absolutely refuses to leave the house. He's developed an irrational fear of cats and a very rational preference for the couch. Getting him to help investigate is like trying to teach a yarn ball to roll uphill.
But someone has to catch this thief before they empty the shop of its most expensive stock. And if Rumple won't go with me, I'll have to be clever enough to solve this mystery alone.
Perfect for fans of small-town charm, quirky sidekicks, and clever amateur sleuths, Kill One, Purl Two is a cozy tale of found family with neurodivergent characters that proves retirement is anything but boring.

There's a thief in town hitting a variety of stores when they rob the yarn shop leaving Matilda rattled. The thief knew exactly which skeins of yarn to take that would make them more money. Matilda is soon drawn into the investigation and turns to Rumple for help. Rumple is a talking rescued raccoon who has become more than just a roommate. But Rumple has developed a fear of cats and won't leave the house, so Matilda may need to solve this mystery on her own.
This is the second book in what will be a trilogy and it was an excellent read. It was well-written with well-developed characters and a fast-paced plot. I was immediately drawn into this enchanting story and kept hooked throughout. The story has small town charm with friendship and a sense of community. RA Muth is a fabulous author and storyteller who pens cozy mysteries that will allow you to escape for a while. I loved this book as well as the first one and am looking forward to the next one.
