Needled
To Death
A Knitting Mystery, No. 2
by Maggie Sefton
If you read and enjoyed Knit One, Kill Two (also reviewed on this site) then get
ready for another relaxing dose of knitting and sleuthing. Accountant Kelly Flynn is back
from the big city and enjoying her new life in Fort Connor. Taking some tourists around
Vickie Claymore's alpaca farm sounds like a pleasant activity where not much can go wrong,
but discovering her friend's dead body was not on the itinerary. Suspects abound; could
it be her rather prim asthmatic daughter Debbie, her cheating husband Bob, her needy cousin
Jayleen, or somebody else?
After setting the scene in the first book, this tale contains plenty
more plot developments as well as the whodunit. Actually, this is
more of a three-finger exercise, as on the one hand Kelly knits
and imparts information to the reader, while the murder investigation
goes on, and Kelly settles in to her inheritance. These three elements
keep the story bubbling merrily along, although the actual whodunit
part could be a bit more convoluted for full enjoyment. Finding
out about alpacas, the trials of knitting with round needles and
how to make a really yummy blueberry pie all add to the fun of this
quintessential cozy. More, please.
