Detective Chief Inspector Dennis Llewellen of the Shrewsbury Constabulary has his hands full with the disappearance of two prominent local men, a jewelry theft, and several murders. If that isn't enough, Llewellen and his sergeant, Detective Sergeant Annette Foden, must now deal with local hobby-sleuths, the Knitting Baggers. However, the three-member Knitting Baggers occasionally manage to help officers of the Shrewsbury Constabulary navigate the behind-the-scenes life of the village of Little Alfriston; that is, until the three women are confronted by danger. This is Llewellen's first exposure to the Knitting Baggers and their dogged perseverance. Country life was never this challenging!
