Needled to Death

Needled to Death by Maggie Sefton is the next book in her knitting mystery series. From the back cover.~

Now that she's been knitting up a storm with the help of her new friends at House of Lambspun, Kelly Flynn can't imagine ever leaving Fort Connor, Colorado. But there's trouble in her adopted hometown-and not just with her new sweater project.

When Kelly volunteers to take a troop of tourists to visit Vickie Claymore's alpaca farm, she discovers Fort Connor isn't as sedate as it seems. Instead of a warm welcome, they find Vickie splayed out on her original hand-woven rug, her blood seeping into the design...

The police jump on the case, but Kelly can't resist doing a little investigative work of her own-even if it means taking a break from the sweater she's been knitting in the round. Because a murderer is lurking in Fort Connor...waiting for the right moment to strike again...

I really enjoyed Needled to Death. Kelly and her friends have the best time getting together each day to knit their latest projects. Kelly again stumbles onto a murder in Fort Connor. Between knitting and new scarf, working at her accounting job, and playing softball, Kelly puts her mind to solving another crime. I really love that each book has directions for a knitting project, as well as a recipe for something mentioned in the story.

I look forward to more books in the knitting mystery series by Maggie Sefton.

My daughter found this book on a train and gave it to me - I thought it was hilarious. I'm assuming the writer can't knit, as some of the things she writes are very odd - for instance, kelly not noticing she's increased her stitches from 10 to 18, not being able to work out for herself how to change to a different pair of needles *sigh* ah well, each to her own!
