THIS WEEK’S NEGLECTED BOOK
Pub Date 27 Sep 2022
Description
It’s holiday season in the picturesque, coastal town of Sea Harbor, Massachusetts! But in USA Today bestselling author Sally Goldenbaum’s latest Seaside Knitters Society mystery, the knitting club sleuths will have to take a break from crafting cozy Christmas gifts to investigate a murder at the Mayor’s holiday party.
Winter in Sea Harbor is a feast for the senses—crackling bonfires, the scent of snow in the salty air, carols ringing out on the village green. This year, the Seaside Knitters have a sackful of obligations in addition to their usual Christmas preparations. Izzy is so overloaded with knitting classes that she hires an extra salesperson, but the new addition has trouble fitting into the yarn shop’s holiday spirit. Cass, juggling the stresses of running her lobster fishery, has finally found a nanny for her active toddler. Molly Flanigan seems practically perfect in every way—until she suddenly disappears, taking Cass’s beloved rescue mutt with her…
Meanwhile, the holidays are kicking off in style at Mayor Beatrice Scaglia’s holiday party, where a well-dressed crowd admires the mayor’s sumptuous new home and the celebrity chef catering the event. An additional treat for Ben and Nell Endicott at the festive affair is reconnecting with a dear college friend, Oliver Bishop. But it’s not just reunions and the appetizers that are to-die-for. Before the party-goers can toast the beginning of Sea Harbor’s festive season, the chef—and young wife of the Endicott’s old Harvard friend—is found dead beneath the mistletoe.
Izzy, Birdie, Nell, and Cass must uncover the pattern to these mysteries to remove suspicion from those they love, bring a murderer to justice—and keep Sea Harbor’s holiday magic from vanishing into the chill winter air…
I am drawn to holiday cozies, what about you? I’m not sure why I haven’t read this one yet. Too many books, too little time as they say. I actually have a tattoo with that on it 🙂

I love holiday cozies too Deanne, but for some reason I don’t read enough of them!🤷😥📚💜
I have like 3 or 4 Christmas cozies but other Christmas books, well we won’t even talk about that 😭❄️🫣❤️💚☕📚
I need to read Christmas themed book this year!
Well I started then stopped to get my Fall/Halloween books in. 💚❤️❄️📚☕
I’ve given up because l had quite a few library holds come up!
Ah, library holds. I do prefer to read a physical book but will read it digitally if needed. I love my library and pick up holds every week. Enjoy your books. 📚📚📚
Thanks! I only really get audiobooks from the library!
I know audiobooks are increasingly popular and I can definitely see the draw when you’re crunched for time.
This sounds like a good Christmas themed cozy–so many plot threads!
I look forward to this one
I have read another book by this author so I’m looking forward to this one. It’s left over from last year’s netgalley Christmas selection.
Just put it on a wish list at my library. I’m looking forward to reading it when I return to Oklahoma for the winter.
Great idea. You’ll have to let me know what you think of it. Hopefully I’ll get to it by then.
A fun seasonal holiday mystery. Hope this tempts you soon.
I hope so too. I have Christmas books to catch up on from last year let alone this year’s selection.
Yes! There is never enough time to read them all. I do love a good cozy! I hope that you end up loving this one.
Cozies are great! It sure is fun to try to read them all though. 🙂
I love cozy mysteries and am particularly fond of knitting cozies, but I haven’t heard of this series yet! I’m off to check out the first in the series… Happy reading!
You would think if I enjoyed cozies I wouldn’t like regular mysteries, but I do. Hope you get a chance to check out this series and enjoy it.
Thanks! My library has most of the books in the series, so I’m going to check out book one and see what I think.
That’s great to hear. I’ve read a few others in the series and enjoyed them. Let me know what you think when you get a chance to read it. 📚☕🧶
I love a good holiday cozy! I haven’t read this one myself and am going to add it to my wish list. I hope you enjoy it when you read it!
Holiday cozies are great. I’m finishing up 2 right now. Hopefully you’ll get a chance to read it too. Have a great day! 😀☕📚🍁
