Summary: Relaxing read
Comment: This is a nice easy relaxing read. I had not read any of this author's
books before. Made me want to pick up knitting needles again after 15 years.

Summary: Cute series and storyline idea - poor writing
Comment: I enjoy cozy mysteries and the idea of friends from a knitting club getting together to solve the murder of a friend sounded interesting. However, the awkward dialog sounded like a novel written for pre-teens. I couldn't get past the writing style and didn't enjoy this book.

Summary: great cozy mystery for the avid knitter
Comment: If I'm not knitting wool, I'm spinning it or weaving it. When I take the time to read, if I don't read a non-fiction about something in the fiber arts, I read a mystery novel.

This is another good Maggie Sefton mystery and it kept me reading it every free moment I could spare. I won't spoil anything for you, but I'll say this: buy this book and read it and give it on to a knitter friend.

Summary: Not quite as good as the first two
Comment: I really like this series, though this installment is the weakest so far. Make sure you read these books in order though because in this book she totally ruins the plot of the second book. I was very glad that in this book Kelly finally makes a decision about her long term future so we could get past this question and move on. I look forward to reading the next book and hope it reads more like the first two.

Summary: tangled yarn
Comment: I read Sefton's first book , then jumped to the third, which was a mistake. In the course of writing, Sefton lets the protaganist progress with her life, which should happen, but if you havent read the first two books, you are out in left field.In this book, Kelly finally decides to stay in FT Collins.
The writing is good, the yarn shop has little to do with the murders, and more to do with Kelly's personal life. I find a distraction with keeping track of all the characters, but there is good sleuthing, for a cozy mystery, which I love.
