Ugh, I wanted to throw this book against the wall. Not because of the plot, though I guessed who the killer was very early on. No, it's the prose that kills me - pun intended. Most of the characters have the same voice, except for Jayleen who is super-Southern-drawl woman. Everyone says "Ooooh, yeah" in response to every question. The sleuth, Kelly Flynn, is forever bemoaning her lack of knitting skills even though she's been knitting multiple things in each book. Kelly's descrip...more

This book is one of the author's "knitting" series. It is the first one I read, so it took me a while to get into it. Once I did though, I really enjoyed it. The characters are very easy to visualize.

A Killer Stitch is #4 in Maggie Sefton’s Knitting Series. It’s almost Christmas and Kelly is settling into her new home in Fort Connor, Colorado. Money is coming in from her Wyoming ranch and her accounting consulting work is keeping her busy, but a pall hangs over the festive spirit at the House of Lambspun. An alpaca ranchers death in Bellvue Canyon has the knitting regulars concerned. Diane, friend of Jennifer - and Kelly’s friend - is under suspicion of murder. But it doesn’t s...more

I love the characters in this series.. They really feel like friends I could actually know and love. :)
The author really has a way of dragging you into their friendly world of knitting, yarns and emotions. I really felt for Lucy and Diane in this story.. And just love how their circle of friends expand to help new friends in each book of the series. :)
And I really can't wait to read the next book in the series! I have all I can do not to run out and get the next book in the series, since...more

I liked this book a lot better the second time, after having read the first three books in the series. I love the cozy world you enter when reading this series. Sefton doesn't do a very good job introducing everyone smoothly in this book--you really are aware that you're jumping into a series that's already underway. However, if you wish you had a friendly local knitting group of your own and want to read about someone else's, this is a sweet little series of mysteries. I'm looking forward t...more

Another great knitting mystery from Maggie Sefton. I've loved following the story of Kelly Flynn and her time in Fort Connor (aka Fort Collins). I read this one in two sittings. I get so into the books I don't want to put them down.
Each book comes with a pattern and a recipe in the back, I'm going to make the one in the back of this one. If you'd like a light fun read and like it be surrounded by knitting. Check out these books.

Again, another great book to read. I love the main character, Kelly, and her sleuthing ability. I especially enjoy these books as they're a great combination of knitting, mystery and a little love story mixed in. The characters seem to really come alive through the authors writing. Great quick read!

I'm not normally a mystery reader, but there are a few series that I read, and this is one of them. This is the 4th installment and I've liked them all so far. Good for people who like the more "cozy" mysteries - not a lot of gore, decent character development, a pretty straightforward whodunit.

The 4th book in this pleasant series about a group of knitters in Colorado. The friendship and relationships of the group are an important part of the story so sometimes the mystery gets left behind but it was a nice way to cross the country on a non stop flight this week.

The third in the Knitting Mystery series once again features CPA and novice knitter Kelly Flynn, who sleuths around Fort Connor, Colorado, where she has found both a surrogate family and land on which to build her dream house.

I stumbled upon this while looking at new books in the library and was like "knitting and murder, yeeahhh!" ... That sounded a lot less disturbing in my head.

Her knitting mysteries keep getting better. I was
surprised by all the humor mixed into a story about
murder. I am anxious for the next knitting mystery.

Another fun little cozy mystery centering around the cast of characters at a Colorado knitting shop. A quick enjoyable read.

Horrible! But amusing...if you like knitting and coffee. Pretty mindless, but it is good if you are stuck in a waiting room.
