In the seventh installment in the “entertaining” ( Kirkus Reviews ) Black Sheep Knitting Mystery series, the knitters see the darker side of Hollywood when Maggie’s shop is used as a set for a big budget, star-studded movie. When the cast and crew of a Hollywood movie arrive to film on location in quiet Plum Harbor, the village is aflutter at the A-list actresses. The Knitters are dazzled by the glamour and since Maggie’s shop is an important set, they are privy to the backstage excitement and inside gossip. But from the first day of filming, accidents and menacing coincidences abound. The show must go on, but no sooner have the lights, action, and stitching begun when the killer strikes again—this time, cutting one character from the script for good. The Black Sheep, an attentive audience to this tangled drama, are determined to unmask the real villain of this story before they can eliminate another member of this deadly cast.

The movie people haven’t told me much.” Maggie shrugged as she set down a platter of sushi on the long oak table at the back of her shop. Lucy and Dana, the first to arrive, sat in their usual places, sipping wine and gently coaxing yarn and needles from their knitting bags. “The cast and crew arrive in town tomorrow,” Maggie continued, “and they’ll be invading this place on Saturday, at the crack of dawn. The shop’s busiest day of the week. What can you do? The show must go on.” “Where else are they filming? Is the shop the only spot in town?” Lucy was almost done with her latest creation, Maggie noticed; an airy, oatmeal-colored, dropped-stitched scarf, perfect for the warmer weather. But now she seemed more interested in hearing about the movie than moving in for the kill on her project. “Suzanne said they also rented a big house on the beach where they’ll shoot other scenes. I think they’ll be in town about a week. I know I should feel honored, but somehow I already regret agreeing to this.” Maggie was quietly proud of the Black Sheep Knitting Shop. She had found the perfect spot for her business years ago, the first floor of a beautifully renovated Victorian building that had once been a private home. But she wasn’t surprised at all that the entire town of Plum Harbor had caught the eye of movie location scouts. A classic New England village on the Cape Ann coast, it was as picturesque a spot as any movie set, its tree-lined lanes filled with historic houses, and a row of well-kept shops along Main Street, which led down to a harbor and green. But now that reality was setting in, Maggie had serious doubts about whether she’d made the right choice. “Come on, Mag. You’re our Hollywood connection. How will we talk our way into being extras if you come off like a big grump?” Phoebe, Maggie’s assistant, walked out from the storeroom, balancing a serving tray laden with other dinner necessities: a stack of flat sushi plates, little bowls for soy sauce, and a pile of chopsticks and napkins. Maggie enjoyed cooking dinner for a knitting night, but didn’t have the spare time today. Sushi was a crowd-pleasing choice, and the chopsticks and knitting needles seemed somehow related. “I think Suzanne is our official Hollywood connection, and I’m not ready to give up my day job yet.” Maggie began handing out the napkins and chopsticks to her hungry-looking guests.
