Murder at the Woolen Mill
(2025)(The first book in the Northwoods Knitting Mystery series)
A novel by Amelia Pine
A favor for family. A historic woolen mill. And a body tangled in the machinery.
Julia Holmes didn’t come to Frosty Pines, Wisconsin, for a fresh start. She came to help her cousin Cody and spend a few days at his historic woolen mill, a rambling local landmark where knitters gather, gossip flows, and the scent of lanolin lingers in the autumn air.
Then she finds a body in the machinery, and a few days starts to look very different.
Nobody is calling this an accident. But Julia is still an outsider here, and Frosty Pines keeps its own counsel. The more she digs, the deeper it goes, all the way back to the town's hidden Prohibition-era past, where old money, old grievances, and very old secrets have been waiting a long time to surface.
The one bright spot? Log-cabin architect Owen Peters, who keeps showing up at inconvenient moments and making them considerably less inconvenient.
The killer is skilled with more than just knitting needles. And they're watching Julia a little too closely.
She came for ten days. She might just stay forever, if she can survive long enough.
Murder at the Woolen Mill is a richly atmospheric small-town cozy perfect for fans of Maggie Sefton, Allie Pleiter, and Anne Canadeo. Packed with Wisconsin winter charm, close-knit community warmth, slow-burn romance, and enough crafty intrigue to keep you guessing until the final row.
