About this item

When the coveted title of Saint Lucy goes to outsider Liisa Pelonen, folks in Red Jacket, Michigan are riled. But it's a shock when Liisa's body turns up in the sauna at the funeral home the evening before the Christmas Festival. Hatti Lehtinen knows she's not qualified to investigate a suspicious death, and doesn't see any of the townspeople as murderers. She'll need the help of her friends in the Keweenawesome Knitting Circle-- and of her almost-ex-husband-- to solve the murder.



About the Author

Ann Yost

Ann Yost comes from Ann Arbor, Michigan and a writing family known for its excellent spelling.
After a six-year-stretch at the University of Michigan, she emerged with a degree in English literature then spent the next ten years working for a succession of daily newspapers as a reporter and copy editor. She gave a faithful account of the first year of her marriage in a weekly column titled, "I Did, I Did."

When her husband, an Associated Press newsman was transferred to Washington, D.C., Ann wrote a series of features for the Washington Post including such topics as visiting a potato museum, how to throw a fabulous birthday party, the trauma of working as a substitute teacher and the even greater trauma of working as a Little League umpire.
After publishing six romantic suspense novels, Ann turned to the remote Upper Peninsula of her home state to start a cozy mystery series. Her Finnish-American detective, Hatti Lehtinen, a law school dropout and recreational knitter, made her debut in 2015 in A STITCH IN CRIME. A prequel to Hatti's adventures will be released on May 1 and a sequel is scheduled for release in October.

Fans describe her writing as "elegant" and "fun" with a "snapping good twist at the end."
Ann lives with her retired husband and their enterprising goldendoodle, Toby, in Northern Virginia. She loves to hear from her readers through her website: www.annyost.com.
