Since her only daughter left for college, widow Pamela Paterson has kept busy as associate editor of a craft magazine and founder of the Knit and Nibble knitting club in quaint Arborville, New Jersey. Now, she’s trying out a new hobby—solving murders!
Pamela is hosting the next Knit and Nibble meeting and can’t wait to liven up her otherwise empty home with colorful yarn, baking, and a little harmless gossip. She even recruits Amy Morgan, an old friend who recently moved to town, as the group’s newest member. But on the night of the gathering, Amy doesn’t show. Not until Pamela finds the woman dead outside—a knitting needle stabbed through the front of her handmade sweater . . .
Someone committed murder before taking off with Amy’s knitting bag, and Pamela realizes that only she can spot the deadly details hidden in mysterious skeins. But when another murder occurs, naming the culprit—and living to spin the tale—will be more difficult than Pamela ever imagined . . .
Peggy Ehrhart has written a wonderful classic cozy which gradually draws you in to the action.
Pamela is a widow and her only child (her daughter Penny) has left home to go to college, Pamela is lucky though, she has a small group of like minded people and they set up the Knit and Nibble group, it consists of Pamela, her friend and neighbour Bettina, and various others, they take it in turn to host (and providing the aforementioned nibbles!) and this week it is Pamela's turn, whilst she is at the local grocery store getting ingredients for her nibbles she runs across someone she knew when her husband was alive (and who turned out to be a great support at his sudden death), she is also a knitter and Pamela asks her to join them that evening. Amy had seemed very keen and so Pamela is a little surprised when she doesn't arrive, she finds out the reason as she is dead in Pamela's shrubbery!
Now Pamela is gradually getting involved in the investigation after she is given Amy's yarn stash by her sister and she finds some interesting notes in a pattern book, Bettina is also gung-ho for finding things out but neither neighbour expected to find out what they did!
