A Pattern for Murder (The Bait & Stitch Cozy Mystery Series, Book 1)

by Ann Yost, Alice Duncan (Editor)

Overview

Upper Michigan Finnish-American Community Shocked by Murder -- Hatti Lehtinen Searches for Answers in A PATTERN FOR MURDER, the First Installment in the BAIT & STITCH COZY MYSTERY SERIES by Ann Yost

Red Jacket, Michigan, On the Keweenaw Peninsula
There's never been a serious crime on the Keweenaw Peninsula – that anyone can remember – until bait shop manager and knitter extraordinaire, Hatti Lehtinen, along with her dogs, Larry the Basset and Lydia the Poodle, discover a fresh body below the lighthouse.
The victim: Alex Martin, the son of the lighthouse’s late owner, who chose the last day of a grace period to assert his right to the lighthouse, oust the senior citizens living there, and claim the five-million-dollar trust fund that accompanies it.
As the town Sheriff jumps to the obvious conclusion and arrests the wrong person, Hatti sets out to find the killer. She is, after all, an Agatha Christie fan who has a year of law school under her belt!
But as more bodies turn up and lies are revealed, it becomes clear that not everybody in Keweenaw is as innocent as Hatti thought.

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.

About the Author

Ann Yost comes from Ann Arbor, Michigan and a writing family whose single greatest accomplishment is excellent spelling.

After six years at the University of Michigan she completed her degree in English literature and spent ten years working as a reporter, copy editor and humor columnist for three daily newspapers. Her most notable story at the Ypsilanti Press involved the tarring and feathering of a high school principal.

When she moved with her Associated Press reporter husband to the Washington D.C. area, she did freelance work for the Washington Post, including first-person humor stories on substitute teaching and little league umpiring. She also did feature writing for the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation on building community in low-income neighborhoods and after-school programs throughout the country.

While her three children were in high school, Ann began to write romantic suspense novels. Later, she turned to the Finnish-American community in Michigan’s remote Upper Peninsula for The Bait and Stitch Cozy Mystery Series featuring amateur female sleuth, Hatti Lehtinen, which begins with A Pattern for Murder. Fans describe her writing as "elegant" and "fun" with a "snapping good twist at the end."

She lives in Northern Virginia with her husband and her enterprising mini-goldendoodle, Toby. She loves to hear from her fans through her website, www.annyost.com.
