Summary

Wanted: Cat mum to manage a yarn store, corral two curious cats, all the while being tangled up in murderous mayhem and mystery.

A smart woman would dump her cheating ex, move from the city, and give herself a chance for a well-deserved do-over. A smarter woman - smarter than me, anyway - wouldn’t jump out of that same frying pan and return to Cape Discovery, a seaside village where her family is the nuttiest of all the nut-ball residents.

I’m a high school counsellor turned new owner of Unraveled, my granddad’s yarn store in town. More exciting than a delivery of rainbow colored wool is the news of movie location scouts in the area, though not everyone believes all publicity is good publicity. Game on between landowners to secure such a lucrative deal.

I can’t help being caught up in movie fever, until I stumble onto one of those landowners, face down in a kitty litter tray. Deader than dead thanks to an unknown assailant. With dating disasters aplenty both online and in-real-life and a hitman on the loose, things couldn’t get much more murderously crazy in Cape Discovery. If only that were true....

Tessa Wakefield has her hands full juggling a cozy craft store, her crazy family, and two men who’d rather poke out their eyes than describe themselves as cute. Which they totally are. Cute, charismatic, and occasionally on her mind when she’s not stumbling over dead bodies and using her newfound sleuthing skills to track down murderers. Lucky, she’s an excellent multi-tasker because digging beneath Cape Discovery’s surface can unearth secrets that kill.

An entertainingly tangled yarn!

A fun and exciting tail with some likable characters. The dialogue is witty and believable.
The only thing I found cringe is - the narrator has two love interests, and the way she describes them and their muscles as variations of yummy, delicious, etc and making her weak at the knees every time they turn up (in every chapter!) Is getting increasingly nauseating! At first I just laughed it off, but after the first few times I was just sick to death of it! She's an excellent writer, and the rest of the books are great fun, but I really don't need to hear her drooling like a teenager every time a man walks in!

Love listening to this series

This series is a lovely, cozy listen. Gentle characters, great narrator. Want to listen to more, even though there can only be so many murders one woman can stumble onto!

Love it!

I honestly can't get enough of the Unravelled gang! I'm constantly rooting for the romance to happen, but not sure if I'm on team Oliver or team Eric!

Hooked… pun intended!!

Definitely team Eric. Nothing against Oliver.
Fab characters. Despite being murder mysteries nice gentle listens, well written and well performed.
