It’s about making a sweater. A warm, cozy, crocheted sweater

When a troubled teen named Brown and a senior citizen named Chester meet at an LGBTQ fiber arts group, they both want to crochet sweaters. But yarn, hooks and needles are set aside when the director of The Center is accused of murdering the owner of a neighboring hair salon who posted transphobic attacks on social media. Brown, Chester and the rest of the fiber arts group set out to prove their friend’s innocence. He is innocent — right?

This new mystery by three-time Lambda award-winner Marshall Thornton is set in the familiar universe of Wyandot County, Northern Lower Michigan, but Half Double Murder jumps ahead to the year 2016 with a mix of new and old characters.
