A girls’ trip turns lethal when Penny Cavanagh finds a fellow traveler dead at the craggy base of the Inis Mor cliffs and foul play is suspected.

Having recently moved back to her home country of Ireland, Penny Cavanagh is off to the beautiful yet wild isle of Inisheer to attend the inaugural Aran Islands Fiber Festival with her grandmother, Nan, and cousin, Nora Murphy. However, the event suffers a tragic twist when Penny and Nora discover their new friend, Molly Doyle, dead at the craggy base of the island’s sheer cliffs.

The deceased’s surprising resemblance to Nora causes confusion among the locals, and it is soon revealed that Molly had been spinning yarns about her identity all along. Without much police support on the remote island, Penny feels compelled to put aside her knitting and help investigate what is clearly no accident. Penny and Nora pursue every loose thread they can to determine who killed Molly and why. Can the cousins uncover the murderer in sheep’s clothing before disaster strikes again? If not, one of them may be the next victim whose fate unravels at the hands of a killer.

This clever whodunit from Annie’s Attic's Irish Tearoom Mysteries series is a must-read for fans of cozy mysteries, Irish settings, and female friendships.
