Danger at the Sheepdog Trials
(2026)(The second book in the Northwoods Knitting Mystery series)
A novel by Amelia Pine
Escape to Frosty Pines… leave your worries behind, but watch your knitting!
A sunny summer day. A prize-winning sheepdog. A body in the pen.
When Frosty Pines, Wisconsin, hosts its annual sheepdog trials, yarn-shop manager and amateur sleuth Julia Holmes expects nothing more dramatic than a few tangled leashes. But when flashy dog-toy mogul Marti Kessler is found dead in the sheep pen with a squeaky toy in her mouth, the festival unravels faster than an unfinished scarf.
With her clever Australian Shepherd, Blu, sniffing out clues, Julia and the Maple Hill Knitters must untangle a mystery woven with rivalry, greed, and small-town secrets. When a second body turns up and a break-in rattles the community, Julia realizes someone’s using the trials as cover for something far more sinister.
To catch a killer hiding in plain sight, Julia will have to rely on her instincts, her friends, and one very determined sheepdog.
🧶 Danger at the Sheepdog Trials blends Northwoods charm, canine cleverness, and knitting-circle camaraderie in a heart-warming whodunit by Amelia Pine. Perfect for fans of Ellie Alexander, Amanda Flower, and The Thursday Murder Club, this cozy mystery will keep you guessing (and grinning) until the very last stitch.
If you love
