Hooks Can Be Deceiving: A Crochet Mystery

By Betty Hechtman
Hooks Can Be Deceiving: A Crochet Mystery by Betty Hechtman digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

National bestselling author Betty Hechtman brings the Tarzana Hookers to a winning thirteenth installment in the Crochet mysteries. It's going to get knotty.

The Tarzana Hookers crochet club is ready for its close-up! But Molly Pink may be getting too close to a case that will land her on the cutting-room floor.

Molly Pink’s excitement level is off the The Craftee Channel’s new cable talk show “Creating with Crochet” has scheduled an upcoming taping at the bookstore. While she’s there, TV host Rory Graham is to work with the Tarzana Hookers on a Make and Take bracelet project to draw bookstore customers to the yarn section. It’s a win-win...or so it “seams.”

The situation gets a bit knotted when channel producer Michael Kostner confides to Molly his concern that Rory may have oversold her ability as a crocheter. When the producer’s worst fears are realized, it’s up to Molly to make sure Rory comes through.

Guiding Rory through crocheting-for-beginners will have to wait, though, as Molly suddenly has to untangle the mysterious death of a new Tarzana Hookers member. Marianne Freeman and her live-in companion, Connie Richards, haven’t exactly been gabby since they joined the Hookers, but Connie’s voice is silenced permanently when she is electrocuted while walking on a wet lawn—electrified by an old radio plugged into a faulty extension cord. The fingers point at Marianne, but Molly is fast on the case to protect one of her own. Was Marianne the killer...or the intended target? Why does her younger brother want to keep her from talking to the cops? And why is this whole case starting to remind Molly Pink of an old TV movie?

Crochet patterns and sweet recipes included!

Hooks Can Be Deceiving: A Crochet Mystery Reviews

5.0
“Molly and the rest of the Tarzana Hookers Crochet Club are going to be on a crafting tv show that is being filmed at the bookstore where they have their meetings. What can go wrong? The host has oversold her expertize of crocheting, one of the new members has been found dead, and another member is a suspect. Can Molly pull everything together before the show is to be filmed? This was my first book by Author Betty Hetchman. I really enjoyed getting to know the characters they are a group of interesting ladies. Molly is probably my favorite character because even though she is “investigating” she still goes out of her way to make certain members feel welcome and included in their group. The setting of the bookstore is wonderful as I am a bookworm I would love to just hang out in a bookstore. Although I have never crochet before I think I would love to learn so I could hang out with the Tarzana Hookers. The mystery was entertaining and kept me drawn with the twist and turns. I was completely surprised at who the killer actually was I never suspected this person. I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy I received through NetGalley, all thoughts and opinions are my own and in no way have been influenced. I would recommend this book to lovers of cozies and crafters especially crocheters.”
