Dropped Dead Stitch (A Knitting Mystery, # 7)
by Maggie Sefton
by Maggie Sefton
A quicky: only 185 pages on my e-reader and I finished it within 2 hours. It was a nice read. I always feel like coming home when I pick up one of Maggie Sefton's knitting cozy's. It makes me want to pick up my long time neglected knitting.
This one however was different. I think Miss Sefton tried to make a statement or needed to write about sexual abuse and made one of Kelly's friend a victim. Too bad it did not work out very well. It was too flat, no real depths or emotions that came up. Like even such a horrible event needed to be covered up in cozy warm knitting. It all stayed on the surface, it just wasn't right.
Kelly's sleuthing however was still the same. Even after 2 years she jumps to all the wrong conclusions. But maybe it was this time because she was way on the sideline, like hardly sleuthing herself.
All in all it was not a real great read like the earlier books, but I still like to read about my favourite yarn-shop-in-a-book: House of Lambspun.
