by Maggie Sefton Good home cooking and knitting are two particularly cozy activities, and here is a mystery revolving around both! Accountant Kelly Flynn enjoys her high-powered life in Washington but when her beloved aunt dies she has to return home to Colorado. Aunt Helen appears at first to be the victim of a surprised burglar, but soon more evidence emerges and it looks as though there was something more sinister afoot. Worse still, just before her death Helen was borrowing money and now Kelly has a huge debt to settle. Putting her life on hold, Kelly moves into her aunt's home whilst across the road, Helen's original farmhouse home is now a thriving knitting shop called House of Lambspun. Maybe the owner and members of her knitting club can lend a hand with the detection?I love these cozies, and this is an enjoyable tale that made this non-knitter want to grab some needles and have a go. There is a recipe to bake, and a knitting pattern to make up, too, but the story is entertaining with a good plot, and I certainly didn't guess it all. This is a good evocation of a country village, although I did feel that the regulars at the shop were a bit too eager to become Kelly's friends--almost as if she was a long-lost relation! Although this is very much a self-contained story, there are enough extra plot strands to make a second book inevitable, and also, if you too enjoy the tale, to anticipate what happens next in Fort Connor.
