Another fun cozy mystery. I am not a knitter.. my daughter is so maybe that is why I like knitting mysteries. And really knitting is sort of what holds the characters together (or should I say Yarn is!) but knitting is not the main focus. I am a quilter and have a small close knit (oh what a pun!) group of quilting buddies who remind me a great deal of the Black Sheep Knitters. It is just that camaraderie that occurs when you share a hobby or interest with a small group of people.. people you might not even speak to otherwise.. and you find that you share more than that hobby... you actually like each other!
Gloria Sterling has it all... looks, money, and a gorgeous young husband that other women drool over. She is well thought of.. a savvy business woman.. charitable.. and in an odd way one of the gang when it comes to the Black Sheep Knitters. Not one of the regular group, but Gloria floats in whenever she can to chat and knit with the girls.
So when she is found dead, they take it personally. The police are quick to rule her death an accident and certainly everything points to that, but the BSK have their doubts. And when they doubt they snoop! Secret relationships.. business deals.. troubles.. all turn up as they try to unravel this mystery without smearing their deceased friend's name and adding sorrow to the grieving husband.
If you are a knitter, there are knitting ideas and links to patterns. Throughout the book you read of yummy meals and snacks. Canadeo has been kind enough to put recipes in the back of the book for many of those yummy treats!
A fun cozy mystery... great way to relax and escape for a bit.
