How to Knit a Murder

I jumped into this series at number 13 but plan on going back and reading the series from the beginning. You can easily read these as stand along books as all the characters are explained as you go along and there is a handy cast list in the beginning in case you get lost.

It is the story of a shy girl coming back to her hometown after the death of her mother. She sort of falls in with the knitting group of the town by accident. There is the murder of one of the characters and unfortunately Rose becomes one of the suspects. So the group: Izzy, Nell, Cass and Birdie are out to figure the mystery out and who really did it.

I really enjoyed the interaction of the knitting group. As a bonus there is pattern in the back of the book to knit. Although I would have liked a little schematic of what it would look like.

The characters are wonderful and so loving. It reminds me of the Secret Book and Scone society. The setting of a New England seaside town adds to the cozy setting. The murder was not surprising because the victim was not a nice guy. There are plenty of suspects and a few twists and turns. I saw some of the twists coming and others were a surprise. I was surprised by the murderer.l, but it wrapped up the story very well. This was an enjoyable cozy mystery.
