The Slipped Stitch
(2026)(The second book in the Purl and Plenty Mystery series)
A novel by Abby Cove
Some houses are abandoned.
Some are waiting.
Harrow House has stood empty for twenty-two years—its doors locked, its history buried, and its secrets left to rot.
Until a man is found dead at the foot of its staircase.
Everyone believes the murder began that night.
Jolene Mercury knows it started three days earlier... when she noticed a light burning in an upstairs window. Even stranger? Her cat, Buttons, refused to stop watching the old house.
Buttons has never been wrong.
As Jolene begins unraveling the mystery, she uncovers far more than a single murder. A forged codicil. A hidden room concealed behind a fireplace. Decades of journals written by a woman who hid the truth because no one would believe her.
Then Jolene discovers one final clue.
A shelf in Aunt Cora's yarn shop sits three millimeters lower on the left.
Not from age.
On purpose.
Like a single slipped stitch hidden inside a perfect sweater, one tiny flaw has been holding forty years of lies together. Pull the wrong thread, and everything in Millhaven begins to unravel.
Because in Millhaven...
The dead aren't the only ones keeping secrets.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
