The Tie-Dyed Kaftan Murders

Spring time brings fresh challenges for Penny and Izzy at the Cozy Craft sewing shop. Izzy is moving in with dog-trainer boyfriend, Marcin, and Penny is given a new commission: to make ‘memory bears’ to honour a recently deceased woman.

Life can’t be bad if your only problems are trying to cope with a boyfriend who likes potatoes too much or working out how to construct the perfect teddy bear.

But things turn sinister when a newspaper crossword appears to contain coded hints that the deceased woman was in fact murdered. Who might have wanted to poison an innocent old woman? And where did those cryptic clues come from?

When Izzy and Penny discover that the dead woman was the author of a puzzle book with clues to a solid gold prize in its pages, they realise they might not just be dealing with murder but also a search for buried treasure.

Can Penny and Izzy follow the thread of clues and find the treasure before the killer does?
