The House of Lambspun has been bombarded for the holidays. Then an alpaca sheep rancher is found dead in Bellevue Canyon-and knitter and sometime-sleuth Kelly Flynn quickly puts Yuletide frivolities aside.

With the deceased's reputation for loving and leaving the ladies of Fort Connor, many women had a motive to kill him. Kelly also finds herself linked to the prime suspect, a former lover of the wealthy playboy rancher. Charged with keeping both spinner and spurned from going over the edge, Kelly will discover more than a few secrets tangled on this triad's bobbin.

Not her best work. The mystery in this one just didn't ring true to me (yeah, even less than in the earlier books) and it annoyed me that for once the story wasn't self-contained, but spilled over to the next book... not a huge fan of cliffhangers.

I'm willing to give it another chance though, so I may end up continuing with the next book in the series after all.
