It’s not that Hatti, who runs a fishing-slash-knitting supply shop, is a trained detective. It’s just that Sheriff Clump considers his collar a slam dunk because an affair between Lars and Cricket three years earlier has made him vulnerable to blackmail. But there's a problem... Everyone in the tiny, Finnish-American town on the Keweenaw Peninsula has to wear more than one hat and, as acting president of the chamber of commerce, Hatti has to host a quintet of television personalities who arrive unexpectedly to film an Antiques Roadshow knockoff called What’s in Your Attic? What’s in the local attics are pieces of Nazi memorabilia from Finland’s World War II partnership with Hitler and when a letter disclosing the existence of a piece of Nazi artwork is discovered, all attention turns to trying to find the masterpiece. Hatti begins to suspect there’s a connection between the arrival of the newcomers and the death of Cricket Koski and after a second shocking murder, she is sure of it. The only question is, which one of them did it? And, since double-pointed needles are packaged in sets of four, does that mean there are two murders still to come? Publisher's Note: While you don’t need to be a knitter to enjoy this series, you just might pick up a fun and rewarding hobby in addition to enjoying a thoroughly delightful, clean and wholesome, mystery with a good dose of humor. Fans of Maggie Sefton, Ann Canadeo, Sally Goldenbaum and Mary Kruger will enjoy this fun mystery series set in the Finnish community of upper peninsula Michigan.

Download or read book If written by Aniruddha Bose and published by Smriti Publisher. This book was released on 2021-03-08 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are fictions and there are genres. Some fictions follow certain standard routes of the established genres, while on rare occasions some fictions create their own genres. That new genres might become established later or may wither away. Only future could decide their fate. But an author who treads on a new path to create a new genre is a pioneer. The spirit always deserves a salute. Such is the new novel by Aniruddha Bose “If …”. It treads along a comparatively new path. What is it? A sci-fi? A whodunit mystery thriller? Or a combination of both? The core idea is not new. Energy crisis and finding a new source of energy is a burning issue to the humankind. Fossil fuel will inevitably finish soon, it is just a matter of time. What next? Nuclear fission energy? Harnessing fusion energy? Wind energy? Tidal energy? Solar energy? Geothermal energy? Biofuel energy? These are only a few of the next possible sources of energy. And it is an established fact that big powers will go to any extent to own the newer sources of energy. In this background Aniruddha has woven the story of his novel. A completely new form of energy is almost in the hand of an Indian businessman with a strong scientific background and the source lies in the ancient Indian scripts. As usual, all the international players are in the arena with their sinister motives and men and women are murdered right and left. The rest of the story I cannot divulge here for obvious reasons.

'The Kennel Murder Case' is one of Van Dine's novels of crime and mystery. S. S. Van Dine was born Willard Huntington Wright in Charlottesville, Virginia in 1888. He attended St. Vincent College, Pomona College and Harvard University, but failed to graduate, leaving to cultivate contacts he had made in the literary world. At the age of twenty-one, Wright began his professional writing career as literary editor of the Los Angeles Times. In 1926, Wright published his first S. S. Van Dine novel, The Benson Murder Case. Wright went on to write eleven more mysteries. The first few books about his upper-class amateur sleuth, Philo Vance, were so popular that Wright became wealthy for the first time in his life. His later books declined in popularity as the reading public's tastes in mystery fiction changed, but during the late twenties and early thirties his work was very successful.
