Hounds of the Basket Stitch

De: Anne Canadeo

Narrado por: Alyssa Bresnahan

The Black Sheep Knitters come to the aid of two sisters-one a victim and one a suspect....

Maggie Messina knows that knitting is not only enjoyable, it also calms both the mind and soul. She's happy to visit two sisters, Holly and Rose Piper, and teach them some simple stitches, while the rest of the Black Sheep knitters tag along. Dana Haeger has known the young women since they were children and is the closest thing to family the Pipers now have. Dana is especially concerned about Rose, who has been easily overwhelmed ever since a car accident many years ago. She is at her best managing the houseful of hounds that she rescues and shelters, while Holly runs the family nursery and remains devoted to Rose's care. The lesson goes well, but the knitters are troubled about the sisters living alone in such a remote corner of Plum Harbor.

Their worst fears are realized when Holly is attacked in her greenhouse and the building set ablaze. Rose is found unconscious nearby, her dogs running wild. When she wakes, her memory is blank. Holly is hospitalized and unable to offer even a clue. The Black Sheep suspect a mysterious drifter who had talked his way into a few days of wages, and just as quickly, disappeared. Or was it their estranged stepbrother, Toby, full of family grievances and eager to make a claim on the estate? Or, heaven forbid...was it Rose? Hovering over all these questions like an ominous shadow is a dark secret from the sisters' past.

While it seems everything is unraveling, the knitters will need to keep their wits as sharp as their needles to prove Rose's innocence and stop a killer from striking again.

My thoughts on hounds of the basket stitch

Hound of the basket stitch was a goodbook. It had a lot of different facets and I did not figure out the mystery which is a plus. Very well written with good developed characters and great dialogue. I love the way it detailed each dogs personality and described what they looked like. As far as the narrator it was hard to understand that some of the characters were supposed to be young women so that was not so great but other than that it was a good book and I loved the way they detailed roses disabilities and made her seem strong rather than a week in competent character.
To be honest as far as the mystery plot when they brought up the character who actually committed the murder I almost forgot who that person was so some of the characters were not developed completely. The mystery made sense but you had to really think about it. I feel like somethings should’ve been developed a little bit more. I would recommend this book to people who love to knit people who Love dogsand people who love mysteries.
