It would be a night of murder, they'd been told. And there'd be lemon squares, too. The group, mostly women, gathered in a half circle, some in the old leather chairs that book browsers coveted and others in the folding chairs the bookstore owner, Archie Brandley, had set up for the special event. At the other end of the cozy loft, narrow aisles seperated wooden bookcases that rose nearly to the ceiling. One section was crammed with mysteries, the spines straight and proud — a perfect background for the night of crime.
The Wedding Shawl: A Seaside Knitters Mystery ~ by Sally Goldenbaum, 2011, cozy mystery, 307 pages
Izzy Chambers is about to get married, but much remains to be done. Then the wedding plans get complicated when the wedding party's hair stylist begins missing appointments. When she's found dead, things really begin to unravel. Rumors circulate about the stylist's past and her connection to an unsolved murder years ago. All the Seaside Knitters really know is they must rally to find some answers, so Izzy can don the wedding shawl they're surprising her with — and replace the whispers about town with wedding bells.

Just the first two sentences of that are great. Thanks for sharing.
It's been a long time since my browser would let me visit your site. Yay! I'm in. I love the idea of a wedding shawl. Are the couple Jewish? Just wondering because shawls are important in some of the ceremonies, I think. Please visit me again now, too.

No, Anne, there's nothing is the book about religion at all. The shawl is probably the big deal because all the women's discussions are centered around their knitting club. The women are always knitting or crocheting in every scene, it seems.
