Blue
Plum, Tennessee is home to some interesting characters, and
the annual arts-and-crafts fair, "Handmade Blue Plum,"
should bring in plenty of tourist traffic. Kath Rutledge and
the TGIF knitters, expect to liven things up by yarn bombing
the town. Things take a turn for the worse, however, when
a former resident Hugh McPhee is murdered, sending fear throughout
the community.
Kath
and the knitters work to untangle the clues, but they can't
do it alone. Fortunately, they have supernatural help in the
form of Geneva, the ghost who lives in Kat's shop, "The
Weaver's Cat."
The clues
and red herrings kept this reader guessing, which is always
a good thing for a seasoned mystery reader. The characters
are comfortable and familiar, and a visit to Blue Plum is
like a vacation to visit long lost friends. Paracozies are
quite the rage now, and the Haunted Yarn Shop mysteries are
among the best. This was a fast read for me, chiefly because
I couldn't put it down! "Knot the Usual Suspects"
would be a great fall book club read, and is suitable for
teens on up. Although it is fine as a stand-alone read, it's
my opinion that it is even better if you've read the previous
books. Therefore, my suggestion is that if you haven't read
the first four books, you get hold of all five in the series
and sit yourself down for a binge read!
