In A Mystery Yarn, while
making the rounds to visit her fellow shopkeepers in Ominpodge Village Center,
Pru Pendergast overhears an argument between her obnoxious landlord, Bart
Cunard, and Sally Midge Cunard, Bart's ex-wife, during which Sally Midge
accuses Bart of being involved in shady real estate dealings with developer
Larry Ludwick. Pru also hears jewelry shopkeeper Jake Yalley defend Sally Midge
and threaten Bart.
When Pru visits Flo
Florrest's yarn shop, Bart comes in and gets into a shouting match with Flo.
Pru next goes to Bea Potter's bookstore and listens to Bea complain about Bart
sexually harassing her. Then Pru has lunch with best friend Herb Hanover-of Herb's
Herbs-and he cries about Bart calling him hateful names while Herb is still
sensitive over his partner's death.
Pru returns to her shop,
Driftwood Creatives, to find Bart dead, garroted with driftwood handles and
brown Vicuna yarn. She also notices that Bart's diamond ring is missing from
his hand. Because his body is found in her shop, Detective James Moriarty immediately
questions Pru and accuses her of murder, but she's certainly not the only
suspect. Pru must escape attacks on her own life and avoid being arrested until
she can find the real killer and solve the crime, all while trying to catch the
eye of her new sort of boyfriend.
