on Yawkey Way. Opening Day is one thing, that’s the official start of spring and an exciting summer. A Home Opening Day is like [...]

I just found out that Sally Goldenbaum’s Patterns in the Sand, is to be released in May.
YIPPEE!!
It’s the second in her murder series of the Seaside Knitters.
The first was Death by Cashmere, I posted on this last October.
