Murder, She Knit

Knit and Nibble Mystery Series, Book 1

By: Peggy Ehrhart

Narrated by: Callie Beaulieu

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....

I liked the story

the voice, it was often harsh, going up in volume and made the character (s) sound mad or harsh. The story itself was good

Nice start to a new series

Peggy Earhart has written a nice book to start off a new series. I couldn’t help thinking at times that the main character was a busybody, as she did seem to butt into other people’s business. By the middle of the book the main character grew onto me and I started to like her. The narrator took a while to like but I’m the end I did. Not the best cozy novel I’ve read, but I look forward to the next in the series.

Murder She Knit

it was good--combined three things I like a good mystery, cats and knitting. would recommend

Well written but the small issues.

The author 's over use of the main character's names instead of a simple "she" got on my nerves. I mean in the same paragraph the name Pamela was said several times. And the voice actor that did Pamela and Bettina sounded too old for the characters. Being that Pamela had a daughter in college I assumed she was early to mid 40s. The voices sounded in their 60s. And the inflection she used sometimes confused me as to what she meant. Other than that, good little story, UT I won't continue the series.

writer doesnt seem to know police procedure

Im a knitter so enjoyed the story but pamela is a bit of a "karen" and the writer doesnt seem to know police procedure at all. im the wife of a retired police officer/detective and there is no way things would go down like she writes. 1. she would have been a serious suspect. 2. she wouldnt have been present at a shootijg and back home in an hour. she would have been printed, detained, questioned, had her statement taken all before she was allowed to go home. She acts like police wouldnt have checked alibis, background's, motives, etc. I still overlooked and laughed at those things because she is a good writer,
