Dropped Dead Stitch (A Knitting Mystery #7)
Maggie Sefton

Kelly's friend, Jennifer, is a top-notch knitter - and a bit of a party girl. But she's always stayed out of trouble, until one night when she's attacked by a stranger. As she recovers, she leans on Kelly and her close-knit group of friends for support.
A ranch retreat in the mountains, stitching and talking, is exactly what Jennifer needs. But they're all in for a shock - because the owner of the ranch turns out to be Jennifer's attacker. When the man is found dead a few days later, Jennifer is the most likely suspect. Now, Kelly has to pick up the stitches before things get out of hand.
