Drop Dead Stitch by Maggie Sefton is a modern day mystery novel with a twist.
You see, Maggie interweaves the good elements of a mystery novel with the domestic arts of yarn weaving and cooking.
This has been the signature of her novels included in the set Drop Dead Stitch is a part of.
This novel starts with a shock- Jennifer has been raped by an unknown man.
Kelly, the main character, together with other friends decides to help the distraught Jennifer.
They suggest a retreat in a ranch where they can all relax while knitting and talking all day.
The retreat is going well until they find out that Cal Everett, the ranch owner, is the man who raped Jennifer.
Then suddenly, Cal is dead, and Jennifer is the main suspect.

   If you love reading mystery novels, this novel will surely interest you.
The involvement of knitting and cooking will be an added bonus to the intricacy and flavor in this case.
