Murder at the Stitch and Sail
(2026)(The eighth book in the Maplewood Bay Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Kaylynn Smith
A glittering gala, a knitting cruise… and a killer who knows how to tie the perfect knot.
When Blakely Monroe inherits the oceanside Oceanspray B&B, she expects fussy donors, tangled yarn, and Grandma Rose’s ‘helpful’ matchmaking—not a dead celebrity, Celeste Marlowe, on the first Stitch & Sail outing. With her mind latching onto every crooked detail (and her knitting needles working overtime), Blakely can’t ignore the small things: a VIP gift that doesn’t match, a sharp scent in a teacup, and a ‘MEDIA’ tote that keeps appearing where it shouldn’t.
Her gossipy best friend Morgan collects whispers, Bobby Zion reads the dock like a map, and Scout—Blakely’s tan, nose-first detective—won’t stop circling the sponsor boxes. Captain Noah Rowe was the last man Celeste cornered about off-the-books runs, and Marina Kline’s fund paperwork has holes big enough to sink a boat.
Now the town’s reputation—and Blakely’s future—hang on one last stitch before the killer cuts the line.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
