Editor's Notes and Comments:

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Alpacas and murder
Kelly Flynn volunteers to take a group of knitting tourists to visit Vickie Claymore's alpaca farm. Unfortunately when they arrive, she discovered Vickie dead on her original hand-woven rug.

Vickie's daughter Debbie hires Kelly to prepare financial documents for her mother's alpaca business for the attorney. As Kelly gets more involved in Vickie's business, she begins to dig deeper to find the killer.

Can she unmask the murderer without putting herself in his/her sites?

This is the second in this knitting mystery series. I have enjoyed both of them tremendously. I look forward to reading many more. The Colorado setting adds to the wonderful cozy mystery series. I really enjoy Kelly and the other women she knits with at the House of Lambspun. What a great cast of characters.

I highly recommend this book and series.





Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Loose Ends Still Untied
After reading the very first book in this series, I was disappointed that there were burning questions concerning the status of the main character's life that were unanswered. So I ordered the second book, "Needled to Death" to find out what decisions she makes. Now I have finished reading book 2 and I still don't know! How long is the author going to string us along?



Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - Poor writing, thin mystery, boring knitting
I love cozy mysteries and I'm an avid reader, so I had high hopes for this book. I knew pretty quickly that it was going to disappoint; the dialog is stiff and heavy-handed, particularly when the characters make what are meant to be humorous remarks. It's a pet peeve of mine, but I don't like when a character 'jokes' rather than 'says' her lines. The mystery itself is secondary to the knit-shop fun and frolic, and it doesn't measure up even to other 'genre' mystery. I was even more disappointed in the knitting content - I know we were all beginners once but I've never met a more obtuse would-be knitter than Kelly Flynn. Of course, when none of her more experienced knitterly friends offers a simple explanation of why we knit every round to achieve stockinette fabric (instead, they urge her to just 'trust the process'), it's hardly surprising that Kelly seems a little dim. Every knitting-related passage in this book seemed to scream "Knitting content here" rather than flowing with the narrative. If you're looking for a decent mystery with a bit of knitting content, try Mary Kruger's "Died in the Wool."



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Needled to Death
The series by Maggie Sefton on kniting mystery stories are a fun read, especially for kniters. I have read the very first one, Knit One, Kill Two, and just finished this one, Needled to Death. I think they get better as the series continues. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Love this series
This is the second of the series featuring cpa Kelly, who continues to feel at home in her aunts cottage in northern CO. I love to knit and spin and really like these books as light reading. "Needled to Death" gave me some tense moments, due to thinking that Kelly really should have been looking over her shoulder more when alone, but the author did not choose to put her in the kind of danger I imagined.
