My rating: 4 of 5 stars
(WARNING: includes bad puns)
I'm not usually one for books without dukes, dragons or some kind of supernatural or historical thing going on, but was attracted to this book because it featured knitting. As an avid knitter it seemed a fairly logical choice.
The author has woven a delightful tale containing a surprising, and slightly grizzly, mystery that involves a number of charming characters. Kelly, the heroine, unravels a web of secrets to discover the identity of her aunt's murderer.
The description of the yarn shop - the central meeting point for the protagonist and her flock of fibre-crafting friends - left me reeling from its vividness. I could picture Lambspun perfectly and was quite jealous that I couldn't reach out and touch the yarns and so had to make do with fondling my own stash.
The only downside with this book was that I felt it cast-off rather abruptly. However, I'm hopeful that the next yarn Ms Sefton has spun in the series will assuage that disappointment. I'm also looking forward to seeing what patterns and recipes will be included in the next book - nice touch.
