Ever since she divorced her attorney husband Ted, 29-year-old Ariadne Evans has run Ariadne's Web, a knitting shop in the coastal community of Freeport, Massachusetts. The shop makes enough to support her and her young daughter, Megan, and Ariadne even finds time to draft her own knitting patterns. But when Ari enters her knitting store one day and discovers the body of long-time customer Edith Perry strangled with homespun yarn, she fears her life is about to come undone again. Ariadne's worries increase when she is questioned by handsome detective Joshua Pierce, who may or may not have designs on her, as he pieces together the details of the crime. Clues about Ariadne's ties to Miss Perry begin to look suspicious and soon Ariadne's dear friend Diane becomes the prime suspect. Not only did Diane spin the murder weapon, but she also has a strong motive and opportunity. With so many ties to the crime, Ariadne can't help but investigate the murder. But can she untangle the investigation without getting snarled up into too much trouble? That depends on whether the killer is as crafty as she is...
