HOOKED ON HOMICIDE
(The Cozy Crochet Murders: Book 2)

"The numbers never lie. But in Willowmere, the stitches are telling a much darker story."

Clara Vale is back. The former high-flying corporate auditor turned yarn-shop owner thought a seaside excursion was exactly what she needed to "cast off" the lingering shadows of her last investigation. But when the Willowmere residents board the silver coach for their annual trip to the rugged North Yorkshire coast, they aren’t just bringing knitting needles and Arthur Pringle’s meticulously audited biscuit tins—they’re bringing a killer.

A LOCKED-ROOM MYSTERY ON LUDICROUS LOGISTICS

When a world-renowned crochet designer is found dead in a high-security hotel room, the local police see a tragic accident. Clara Vale sees a systemic error. With the hotel under lockdown and a mysterious "Late Arrival" shadowing the group’s every move, Clara must dive into a world of digital alibis, 2026-era encryption, and the haunting legacy of a clandestine society that was supposed to have burned to the ground in 1986.

AUDITING THE GHOSTS OF THE PAST

From the salt-sprayed cliffs of Whitby to the claustrophobic flooded sea caves hidden beneath the Grand Regency Hotel, Clara and her eccentric band of village investigators must race against the tide.

• Arthur Pringle is armed with a dual-monitor workstation and a "Travel-Safe" shortbread supply that might just save their lives.

• Edgar is causing "atmospheric interference" with industrial-grade flares and a ladder that shouldn't be there.

• And Dot, the village's most enigmatic elder, is watching it all with an eye that sees far more than a dropped stitch.

WHY READERS LOVE THE WILLOWMERE AUDITOR MYSTERIES:

If you love the puzzle-solving satisfaction of Richard Osman’s The Thursday Murder Club mixed with the sharp, analytical edge of Stieg Larsson’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, this series is your next obsession.

Hooked on Homicide is a "Techno-Cozy" thriller that proves a spreadsheet can be just as deadly as a dagger, and that the most dangerous patterns are the ones we think we’ve already finished.

WHAT’S INSIDE:

• A Professional Auditor Protagonist: No "amateur" hunches here—only logic leaps, root-cause analysis, and forensic reconstructions.

• The "Pattern Circle" Conspiracy: A deep-seated mystery that spans forty years of village history.

• High-Stakes Tension: Immersive, 5,000-word climactic chapters that will keep you turning pages until the final row is cast off.

• A Shocking Twist Ending: A cliffhanger that changes everything you thought you knew about Willowmere.

The audit is open. The tide is rising. Can you find the error in the pattern before the killer finds you?

THE WILLOWMERE ARCHIVES CONTINUE…

Don't miss the chilling conclusion to Book 2, which leads directly into Book 3: Dead Men Don’t Purl. When an antique sampler reveals a hidden map of 1980s secrets, Clara realizes the Founder of the Pattern Circle never actually left.
