Molly Pink, who promotes the bookstore, is part of a group of crocheters who refer to themselves as the Tarzana Hookers. The group, co-led by Mollys jealous co-worker Adele, meet in the bookstore to create charity projects. Shawls for abused women is the groups current project.

One anxiety ridden member, Sheila, has consigned several of her scarves to a local gift shop. When the owner dies, the sons take over and her commission is cut. Molly and company convince Sheila to confront Drew Brooks, one of the sons, but the day Sheila does, Drew is bashed over the head with a paperweight from his office.

A fun mystery, Dead Men Dont Crochet has an interesting cast of characters, from insecure Adele who feels the need to compete with Molly at work while outlandishly dressed, to Mollys ever true friend Diana who has been saddled with her ex-husbands two children.

The character of Molly should be more forceful in gettin Barry to understand the type of relationship she is interested in. The charming attorney Mason appears on the scene again and resparks some interest in Molly. The mystery is pretty straight forward, and readers will find the plot enjoyable and see once again how everything turns out for the Tarzana Hookers.
