On Skein of Death (A Riverbank Knitting Mystery)
by Allie Pleiter
On Skein of Death is a fantastic first book in the Riverbank Knitting Mystery series by Allie Pleiter. I was engaged in the mystery, always sifting through the clues with Libby as she tried to figure out who killed Perle and why.
~Sapphyria’s Books
I really enjoyed this intriguing story and I liked Allie Pleiter’s portrayal of Libby who had so much passion for her dream shop.
~Brianne’s Book Reviews
. . . I really enjoyed this story. The setting is delightfully described and if Y.A.R.N. was a real place I would be there in an instant . . .
~Escape With Dollycas Into A Good Book
On Skein Of Death was/is a fun read. Just your fun cozy. Set in a small town. I love the Y.A.R.N. shop setting.
~My Reading Journeys
A good mystery, likable characters, a hint of romance, and a very charming setting make this a wonderfully enjoyable first installment. I look forward to reading more of Libby’s adventures.
~The Book’s the Thing
The mystery is ingenious and deftly plotted. Morals and integrity are integral to the characters and the plot shaping behavior and making the murder even more distressing. There’s humor and fun as well as a charming dog named Hank!
~Cozy Up With Kathy
It’s a compliment to the author that I’m not aware of her written style. She paces her narrative well, giving the Reader enough space to absorb the last bit of action and, before we get bored, moving on to the next. A rollicking good read.

For Libby Beckett, opening her charming yarn shop, and introducing customers to the joys of knitting and crochet, is the work she was meant to do. Until the yarn she loves is used for murder….
Libby has come home to Collinstown, Maryland to live her dream and open her own yarn shop, aptly named Y.A.R.N., along the Chester River. To Libby, Y.A.R.N. stands for “You’re Absolutely Ready Now.” But the acronym changes whenever inspiration strikes, and customers add to the list of suggestions that fill the blackboard wall in a shop stuffed with color, fiber, and comfort.
Libby is thrilled when she lands famous Norwegian knitting celebrity Perle Langager for a series of events at Y.A.R.N. Libby’s English bulldog, Hank, has been modeling one of Perle’s doggie sweaters, and customers just can’t wait to see Perle in action. The mayor of Collinstown even decrees a Collinstown Yarn Day to celebrate. But once Perle arrives in town, she seems distracted and on edge. And when she’s found strangled with a skein of red yarn, Libby knows she has to solve a knotty mystery before her new life unravels.
