🧶 Craft store owner Pearl Purl's life is all about patterns and precision until a renowned textile artist is found dead in her shop's back room, surrounded by a baffling array of crafting supplies. The police are stumped by the crime scene's strange setup-a half-finished knitting project, scattered beads, and a mysterious coded message made from embroidery floss. Pearl realizes the killer has left a trail of clues using different crafting techniques, and she's the only one with the skills to decode them. With help from her weekly crafting group and a retired cryptographer who frequents her store, Pearl must follow a path of crafted clues that leads through the town's creative community. From yarn bombing with hidden messages to quilt blocks that form a map, every craft holds a piece of the puzzle. But as Pearl gets closer to weaving the clues together, the killer is crafting one final, deadly project-with Pearl as the centerpiece.
