Knit One, Kill Two (A Knitting Mystery, #1)
by Maggie Sefton

Not my cup of tea. Slow read, little action, rather predictable, and the descriptions were overdone in some areas and not nearly as defined as they could be in others.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy knitting. But a murder mystery, in my opinion, should not contain 3 parts knitting instruction, 1 part action. On a good note, there were some touching parts, and interesting character building scenes. Overall, however, my 2 star rating is from my generous side.
I got three of this series discounted at my local bookstore (who I am proud to support) and the only saving grace is that this book included a couple knitting patterns and a cinnamon roll recipe I fully intend to try out.
Despite the fact that this book left me wanting, I will be reading the other two because I believe that every book I buy should be given a fair shake. If I had to do it over again, however, I would probably have invested my money in something different.
Keep in mind, this is merely one opinion. I'm sure there are people out there who love this type of story.

I was teetering on 2 to 3 stars. I liked it, but there were some points that pretty much jarred me out of the story. Like reading about "Eduardo's coffee" again and again. It could have been me, but I was also put off trying to figure out if Helen was her great aunt, dad's sister or what? Her aunt and uncle practically adopted her after her father died...3 years before? As an adult? Yet she knew no one in this little burg except Mimi? I'm hoping that a lot of it was simply just a way to move the story along. We'll see.
