Only Skein Deep in the fifteenth book in The Knitting Mystery series.
This book is light on a mystery, but that is all right as Kelly is 9 months pregnant and is definitely looking forward to the day when Baby Jack will make his appearance. The mystery centers around the death of Giselle Callahan, whose body is found on the golf course that abuts the property of House of Lambspun.
William Callahan had divorced his wife of 40 some years, to marry his trophy wife. Kelly has sworn off investigating and the staff of House of Lambspun is keeping their eyes on her to make sure does. But that doesn’t mean that she can’t talk to her fellow knitters and relay that information thru Burt at Lambspun to the police.
The lack of sleuthing by Kelly was all right with me as it gave Ms. Sefton a chance to review and bring the readers up to date with the friends and employees at House of Lambspun.
Knitting pattern and a delicious recipe are also included in the book.
I looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
One of My Favorite Authors..
I started this book very excited. I love cozy mysteries, and cozies about crafters are my favorite. Unfortunately, this book never got started and I was very disappointed.
Kelly Flynn is 9 months pregnant and enjoying the final days of her pregnancy. I felt like nothing was happening for the entire book. It was slow and boring. The writing was very repetitive. I can’t count how many times we had to hear about the baby “playing soccer.”
The murder in this book was an afterthought. Something thrown in to justify calling this a mystery. At almost the 25% mark, Kelly reads about a murder in the newspaper. Another good chunk of time passes before she brings up the murder to her friends. Kelly does no real “sleuthing” other than repeating some gossip to the police. This apparently is enough for the police to get a confession and bring down the murderer.
The bulk of the book is the story of Kelly’s last two weeks of her pregnancy. It is very repetitive. People asking her the same questions over and over. The only people I think would enjoy this books are fans of the series who want to see how Kelly and friends are doing. This is definitely not a book for people looking for a cozy mystery.
I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
