Danger at the Sheepdog Trials

Northwoods Knitting Mysteries: Book 2

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

Knitting, sheepdogs… and a killer hiding in the crowd.

A perfect summer festival. Champion sheepdogs. And one very inconvenient corpse.

When Frosty Pines, Wisconsin hosts its annual sheepdog trials, yarn-shop manager Julia Holmes expects tangled leashes, not murder. But when flashy dog-toy mogul Marti Kessler turns up dead in the pen, it’s clear someone has more than competition in mind.

With her sharp-eyed Aussie, Blu, and the Maple Hill Knitters at her side, Julia follows a trail of rivalry, greed, and long-buried secrets. Then a second body appears… and it becomes clear the killer is using the trials as cover.

In Frosty Pines, even cozy festivals can turn deadly… and the yarn isn’t the only thing unraveling.

If you love:

small-town Wisconsin cozies with humor and heart
dogs, festivals, and friendship
clever women sleuths and slow-burn romance
knitting, crafting, and twisty mysteries

… you’ll adore Danger at the Sheepdog Trials!

Author

Amelia Pine grew up on a healthy diet of Nancy Drew, Agatha Christie, and Jessica Fletcher. Today, she writes both contemporary and historical cozy mysteries that blend twisty puzzles with comforting atmospheres, memorable characters, and a touch of wit. Whether set in seaside California or Belle Époque Paris, her stories place cozies firmly in the present cultural imagination, cellphones, social media, and globalization included, while still honoring the genre’s classic appeal. She and her family make their home on the sunny coast of San Diego.
