Product Description:
Kelly Flynn is eager to renovate the alpaca ranch she’s just bought, but someone else has different ideas for keeping her busy, which seem to include slashing tires, cracking windshields, and covering the walls of her cottage with blue paint. Then her local yarn shop, House of Lambspun, is trashed and a young woman is found dead in the basement, drowned in a tub of dye. As disturbing incidents continue to pile up, Kelly knows she must try to pick up the stitches of these crimes before a killer strikes again. But she can’t fathom what anyone at Lambspun could have done to invite such dyer consequences.

A couple of years ago, I picked up "Knit One, Kill Two" and became hooked. Even the second book was great! However, after that, I have to agree that the book became weaker and weaker. The same things started to bother me: coffee talk & non-progressing relationships.
Ok, to relate to "Dyer Consequences," Sefton refers to coffee about every other page. I kept saying to myself, "Enough, man!" Don't get me wrong, I realize that coffee is a major part of the main character's life, as she is a caffeine addict, but you can only mention coffee so many times in one book without really annoying the heck out of your audience.
Another annoying thing in the book: the word "whoa." Ok, so I get that this word should be used during a time of surprise...but using "whoa" all the time is just plain irratating.
One last disappointing element of the book: Steve & Kelly's stagnant relationship. What are they, middle-schoolers? So, I get that Kelly was afraid of committment. It took like 3 books for them to date. Another book to finally kiss. What about now? The fifth book? Cuddling? If you don't want to write about them doing adult things, either add a religious morals thing into Kelly's character ("I just want to wait until we are married") type of thing... or just add it in a way that is ambiguous. You don't actually have to write about them doing these things. You can suggest it. Give the audience at least that much. The friends in this book kept suggesting that they move forward...and I waited until the end, hoping that when they were alone, they would do at least something more then a 'peck' and talking (because after 5 books, it should be building up with these characters, right?). But we got nothing. After all those suggestings amoung the characters. And Steve & Kelly mentioning to eachother that they (supposedly) want eacher, during Kelly's 'loopy pills' scene. I guess we have to wait until the 6th book for them to at least french kiss. lol.
All in all, the romance is lacking & puts the audience through a roller-coaster ride with no bang.
This book does not make me look forward to any others, unforunately.
It's a shame, because Stefton has the goods...she just needs to do away with these irratating factors that nearly every commentor has complained about.

When you very first start reading the 5th in the series, you figure it will get better. It doesn't!! She gets into more trouble minding other people's business. My biggest aggravation was the COFFEE. She must have written about coffee drinking on every page, how the dark, hot liquid burned on the way down. Give me a break! A waste of my time, because it didn't get better.

My husband and son gave me the very first two in the series because I love knitting. Instead of developing, they have become weaker and weaker...... I won't bother if there are more. The characters do not develop, there is no real substance, and the author leans on amateurish devices....enough coffee!.....
Save your money.... but yarn!

I support anything knit-related. Having said that, this book was a slight disappointment. Drowned in a dye-vat? Has anyone else noticed that a town that size, a herione who keeps solving murders? How many deaths can occur in this small town? I'd move out because of the crime rate.

i really like this series of knitting mysteries - this one was no exception - you feel like you're really getting to know the characters in each book - looking forward to the subsequent book in the series!
