A death in the Knot House makerspace in Salt Ridge, Tennessee, turns retired literature professor Paisley Brockenhurst into a reluctant sleuth.

When Okke Tacken, the abrasive president of the Knot House Woodturners Guild, is found dead in rural Salt Ridge, Tennessee, authorities are quick to call it a tragic accident. Paisley Brockenhurst is not convinced. A retired literature professor and lifelong woodworker, she knows the rhythms of the shop too well to ignore what feels off -- especially when a threatening message turns up where it doesn't belong.

As the makerspace struggles to absorb the loss, Paisley begins to notice the fault lines beneath its friendly surface. Long-standing tensions, bruised egos, and quiet resentments come into view as she pays attention to the details others dismiss. With the help of friends, she can trust her instincts in workshops and around kitchen tables alike, where small choices and everyday habits can lead to unexpected consequences.

Set among lathes, saws, and workbenches, Knot House City Limits is a cozy mystery rooted in craft, community, and consequence. As Paisley navigates grief, loyalty, and the limits of good intentions, the truth behind Okke's death reveals how three separate secrets converged with fatal consequences.
