This is (so far, I haven't read them all) my favourite book of this series.

Kelly is FINALLY successful in buying a ranch house in the canyon. As soon as she does, strange things start happening - her tires get flattened, her house gets graffiti-ed... twice. Of course, the first two people who tried to buy the exact same house backed out at the last minute, too, but Kelly doesn't think anything of that. Nope, not our girl.

Then the yarn shop/café (which Kelly lives next door to) gets broken into and vandalised and a woman who had stayed late to dye some yarn in the basement is found dead - drowned in a vat of dye. Once again, Kelly the amateur sleuth won't be stopped. Well, until the brake line on her car is cut. Except that only temporarily stops her, and eventually makes her even more determined to solve this very personal case.
