Tash Carmichael thought learning crochet would be the hardest part of joining Nuntin Creek's Hook and Natter group.

But when strict organiser Lori Wilson is found dead at the bottom of the church hall stairs, a tragic fall seems easy to believe. Lori's knees were bad, the stairs were unsafe, and the town already has a suspect in mind.

Tash isn't convinced.

As the Winter Warmers charity drive continues, missing money, uneasy friendships, and a scrap of orange yarn pull Tash into another investigation. Senior Constable Brad Jenkins warns her to stay out of it, but every loose thread leads to someone with something to hide - and one of them may be willing to kill to keep the truth from unravelling.

Can Tash stitch the clues together before the killer ties off the final thread?

Includes 8 bonus puzzles inspired by the story. They're completely optional and not required to solve the mystery, but they're a fun way to investigate alongside Tash. A printable puzzle pack is also available for readers who prefer pencil and paper.

Hooking Trouble is the second book in the Second Chances Op Shop Mystery series - an Australian cosy mystery filled with small-town secrets, amateur sleuthing, and plenty of second chances.
