Knit, Purl, Die

From the Publisher:
Meet the Black Sheep knitters — five smart, funny
women who love to knit, gossip, and solve crimes.
women who love to knit, gossip, and solve crimes.
Gloria Sterling had it all — money, looks, and a new sexy young husband. So when she’s found floating face down in her own swimming pool, shock waves ripple through tiny Plum Harbor. At the Black Sheep Knitting Shop, Maggie Messina and her circle are devastated to lose their dear friend — a woman as colorful as her fabulous yarn creations.
The police are quick to call it an accident, but sorting out Gloria’s final hours leaves too many loose ends to satisfy her friends. The vivacious, fiftysomething cougar had her French manicured tips in more than a few pots, and the threads of some inside deals stashed in her chic knitting tote.
Who was the last person to see Gloria alive on that quiet summer night? Two empty wine glasses suggest she wasn’t home alone knitting the entire evening…. The Black Sheep need to know the truth and set out to unravel — stitch by stitch — the weighty secrets that pulled poor Gloria under.
About the Author:

My Review:
Easy reading.
Fun characters.
The perfect book for me.
The Black Sheep Knitting Club, is an interesting mix of women.
I could identify with Maggie,
as I felt that she was the main nurturer of the group.
The mix of menus, yarn, ever day life of the women,
and a simple murder mystery…
made for quite an enjoyable read.
Now If I could just learn to knit!!!

I enjoyed this one too. I loved how the women all supported one another and were so ready to help each other. So many books seem to have realtionships between men and women and I loved reading a friendship book instead with an added mystery!
I loved your review….had seen this book and had the same thought…wish I could knit..learned in college but it was so long ago and I wasn't very good then…but I still like all the knitting mysteries and such!
