Finding a killer is like knitting a blanket; take it one clue and one stitch at a time.
Sophie the corgi and I have a lot in common, we both love cookies, we’re both short and cute, we both adore our hand-knit sweaters, and we both want to find the person who killed her human caregiver, Laura.
When my neighbour, Laura, slips on the ice, breaks her leg, and requires surgery, I jump at the … surgery, I jump at the chance to look after her dog, Sophie.
A week later, when I take Sophie home to reunite her with her beloved human, the worst happens, we find Laura dead.
As natural and peaceful as her death appears, something is off.
Like one wrong stitch in a blanket with thirty thousand stitches, small, seemingly minor, inconsistencies at the scene of Laura’s death gnaw at me.
Laura’s death is the furthest thing from peaceful… it’s murder, and I’m determined to unravel the stitches of Laura’s life and figure out who killed her and why.

This review is for the audio book.
I really enjoyed this book. Even if you don’t like knitting you will enjoy this book because the mystery is the main focus of the story, then the family and love life and the knitting is just a side line for the characters to get together. How ever it was written it was nicely balanced, entertaining and enjoyable. I loved it. The characters are fun but I think it was the mystery that sold me on this series because even though I thought I knew who the killer was, it wasn’t for the right reason and the author had a clever little twist. This is the second book in the series but it does work well as a standalone but to be honest as someone who has listened to both they are both well worth the listen and I hope there is more to come.
Meg has been dog sitting while Sophie the corgi’s owner has been recuperating in hospital after a bad fall. The day she returns home sees mixed feelings for Meg as she will miss her roommate but she is happy her friend Laura is well enough to come home. Well enough that is until Meg finds her dead in her armchair. She looks peaceful enough but something isn’t right and Meg suspects foul play. The treacherous ice isn’t the only thing to be warry about, there is a killer on the lose. A fund raiser Laura was helping to organise to help the animal shelter goes ahead but could the developer who wants the land be the cause of her death? What about her own sister who is keeping secrets and needs money? Or does Meg have to look even farther back to a time when baby born out of wedlock were given away? One thing is sure she will have to stitch the clues together to unravel this mystery.
I liked the narrator. She really help bring the story to life by giving the characters there own voices, even if a few did sound a bit funny.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
This was so enjoyable and just as good as the first in the series! The characters are interesting. There is a whole cast of characters in the close knit small community they live in. Their interactions are funny with humor throughout the story. Megan has a lot going on in her life. I felt that the narrator’s voice was easy to listen to and the narration was enjoyable.
This story is very well written and the characters and plot are fun. The descriptions of the areas and people are easy to imagine and help to bring you into the story too.
Put this series on your Must read List, you won’t regret it.
I received this book for free and wanted to leave an honest review.
After reading Neighbourhood Swatch and Knit One Murder Two, I was interested in continuing reading the story to see how Meg, Eric and the other characters developed throughout the story. I was not disappointed. I liked the friendship between all the characters and the plot was very interesting. I thought I knew who the murderer was but was surprise who the murderer actually was. Highly recommend this book and the series.
