Ainsley McGregor Mysteries: A Case for the Yarn Maker - Movie Review (2025)

I love cozy mystery movies!  I have watched several cozy mystery movies by Great American Family and thus far, have enjoyed every one of them.  I like having a mystery to try to solve without any gore or violent scenes to endure.

"A Case for the Yarn Marker" is the most recent cozy mystery movie I've watched.  It is part of the Ainsley McGregor series that features a former criminologist who has chosen to leave Chicago to move back to her hometown.  However, crime is everywhere, including Sweet River, Texas.  

Along with the murder mystery, there is a touch of romantic interest between characters.  In this movie, Ainsley McGregor (Candance Cameron Bure) is romantically interested in the fire chief of the city.  Plus, her brother is the sheriff.  She is teaching criminology in the local university and has opened a craft market for community artists.  All things considered, whether she wants to be or not, she is going to be an integral part of crime investigations in Sweet River. 

 

A Case for the Yarn Maker Synopsis

 Ainsley McGregor Mysteries: A Case for the Yarn MakerWatch on Amazon
(subscription may be required)Ainsley McGregor is hosting a special event in her Bless Your Arts craft market and has invited Ellie Mitchum, a wealthy yarn company owner/founder, to speak.  She is expecting someone who is happy to be there.  After all, Mitchum is from Sweet River too and actually attended school in the event location.  However, Ainsley has to welcome a somewhat irritable and rude individual.  

According to other locals who knew her, Ellie Mitchum has never been a particularly nice person.  She is even accused of stealing someone else's designs.  The person accusing Ellie happens to be a respected member of the community who, unbeknownst to Ainsley, plans to confront Ellie at the event.  

When Ellie Mitchum is murdered, there are plenty of suspects including members of her own family, company board members and of course, the "respected member of the community" who has accused her of being a thief.

Because Mitchum is not well liked, finding her murderer is like finding the proverbial needle in a haystack.  Too many people had reason to want her gone.
