Kelly Flynn is domiciled in what she deemed an uninteresting neighborhood in Washington, D.C. when juxtaposed with the idyllic Colorado. But she had not bargained for attending her deceased aunt’s burial in the exhilarating Colorado.

Despite the fact that the police have filed away her aunt’s death as a collateral damage associated with a heist, this is not in accordance with Kelly Flynn’s jaundiced perception. By and by, Flynn, who is not convinced by the police report, starts realizing that it was not a run-off-the-mill. Now Kelly Flynn must use the knitting knowledge which she acquired in the wake of the presumed murder, intent on making a scarf which will hoodwink and ensnare the involved murderer. In her quest for dropping the bait and closing in on the killer, Maggie Sefton wittingly crafts a commendable whodunit, and made her a finalist for the Agatha Awards (2005).
