Black Sheep & Company Mystery #2
Knit, Purl, Die
Meet the Black Sheep knitters—five smart, funny 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.

Very light reading. No suspense or leading up to solving mystery. All of a sudden, it just all wrapped up!
The best sentence in the whole book appeared on p. 232. "She and Tink made it all the way to the harbor without mishap, coming to a full stop only once for Tink to check her messages on a favorite fire hydrant."

This book reminded me why I don't read many cozy mysteries. Many are published and a few I find satisfying as escape reads, but this isn't one of them. Not only was the story somewhat predictable because there were no other options, but this is not a book to read because you love knitting. The author admits she is a novice knitter, but it seems she doesn't even ask other knitters, look at books about knitting or even the internet to inform her writing. When she described knitting a swatch, she calls it "knitting a gauge" and includes a definition which was the only way I was sure she was talking about a swatch. Jeez. Doesn't she know anyone who knits?
The characters are not very interesting. The shop owner could be, but there are few details about her (she got divorced, moved, and opened a yarn store). Of course, most of those details would probably be about her shop and knitting, which the writer doesn't know, so she leaves them out.
As a knitter, I feel exploited by a writer who obviously picked this theme - yarn store owner- to sell mediocre books. I also am not a fan of padding the book with recipes and patterns added at the end as if readers don't have these readily available to them. So many publishers do that now that readers should let them know if they think they are gratuitous padding.
There are also misspellings of ordinary words, making me think she dictates and doesn't write. Or her editor (if there is one) doesn't know how to spell. Overall annoying and probably not worth your time.

#2 in the Black Sheep Knitting Mysteries series
The ending of this book snuck up on me. I had wondered about a specific person as the murderer throughout, but then when this person's name was suggested and the knitting club members all jumped on the bandwagon, I thought they were just discussing it as a theory and it might be end up being disproved. But apparently, at that point it was a done deal and Canadeo was just wrapping up the whole book. I was surprised to find the ending so obvious that even I figured it out in advance. But, in any case, I do like the characters in this series--a group of varied women who all share the same passion for knitting. When a new member dies unexpectedly, they become involved in the case when they question the police's quick closing of the case as an accidental death. In some ways it's a little insular, with this very close group of women having little interaction with others in town. Our group consists of a couple of married women, a couple of singles who are cautiously entering the dating world, and a young girl who works at the shop. I liked learning about their knitting projects and enjoyed hearing the descriptions of shared meals. (Recipes and knitting instructions are included at the back of the book.) Interestingly, I have participated in Project Linus (who makes homemade blankets for hospitalized children), both as a crocheter and as the aunt of a child who spent a year in the hospital for a brain tumor and who received one of these blankets. So reading about the blanket project they were working on together added a special connection for me. I plan to continue with this series sooner rather than later.

I enjoyed the first book in this series so much that I couldn't resist going on to the second book and it definitely didn't disappoint. The little knitting group had grown by one person, an old friend of Maggie's, Gloria who had just moved back to Plum Harbor with her very young new husband, Jamie. The girls all enjoyed being around Gloria, she was so full of life...until someone decided to murder her. Only problem was that the police figured it was an accidental drowning since it happened in her own pool and her tox screen showed painkillers and alcohol in her system which apparently seemed normal to the investigators.
In true Black Sheep fashion, the friends took poor grieving Jamie under their wing and vowed to find out what really happened to Gloria.
I really enjoy how they have their little morning meetings and sometimes a few of them will join Maggie at the shop for lunch. This investigation was pretty much entirely done by the ladies in the group since the police had already dismissed it as accidental drowning. I did like that for once the ending didn't have anyone in danger. The case definitely wrapped up well and even though I had some suspicions throughout the book, I hadn't guessed the outcome that tied them all together.
Since I borrowed the first 3 books in one e-volume from Overdrive, I plan to go ahead and read the next book before it expires, a good way to cross off some TBRs.

I started out enjoying this book. The characters are interesting. It took the author awhile to get to the murder mystery part of the storyline and things were developing very nicely. Then all of a sudden the storyline takes a totally different tangent as the murderer is revealed and the story is all wrapped up in the last two chapters. This book left me sort of saying huh?

A pleasant craft cozy with a surprising plot twist at the end. Definitely plan to continue with this series. I like that each of the women have a voice in the book.

The Black Sheep Knitting ladies are great characters and I enjoy watching the author flesh them out more.
A quick and comfortable read.

I love knitting and I love mystery books, so I figured - why not? I really shouldn't have. The plot was too simple (even I figured out the killer almost right away). I couldn't even get emotionally invested in any of the characters. I just didn't care what happened to any of them. I kept reading hoping that there would be a surprise ending, but there wasn't.

I could go on for a while about all that I didn't like about this book. Instead, I will let my star rating do the talking. I am thankful, though, that it seems to have provided me with a base pattern for a new scarf.

This was.... Okay?? I'm not well-read in the mystery genre but I feel like this was atypical and not suspenseful. the murder doesn't happen till a quarter of the way through, and they don't even suspect murder and start investigating until halfway. Then they putter around and knit and halfheartedly follow up a false lead until in the last 70 pages the mystery pretty much solves itself.
I didn't think the characters were very distinctive, though they were absolutely the middle-aged knitting ladies I know. And the editing was sloppy; there were some glaring typos, some characters saying the same things twice or even three times to the same people, and they even got Jamie's name wrong on the back blurb.
The best thing about this was the whole concept (pulled this from the library shelves in a "that title, tho" moment) and the details in recipes and knitting patterns, diets, and affairs which I guess is how middle-aged, middle-class American women make up their lives. I am glad that this book exists as an idea but in practice it doesn't work for me.

Gloria, a financially successful "cougar" with a handsome young husband, joins our merry little group of knitters. Uh-oh. She ends up dead in the pool. Was it an accident or murder?
Lucy and the crew set out to find out answers, but truly it's the police who solve this death . . . thanks to a second, seemingly random, death.
"Knit, Purl, Die" is a cozy little knitting mystery that keeps to the winning formula, doesn't tax readers' brains too much and offers plenty of incentive to pick up the knitting projects.

it was so boring. the writing was so average. the reveal was way too predictable i guessed the murderer within the first three chapters. literally what. i was gonna drop the book but it was only 200 ish pages and i wanted to get closer to my reading goal. glad its over!

Needed a book about a hobby for the reading challenge & I’m a knitter! Sorry that I happened on the second book before the first, as the first was referred to several times. Can’t say much, as I don’t want to leave any spoilers, but I was surprised by at least one thing... And I always appreciate recipes in a book!

The Maggie character, who doubts everything, is annoying. Any new characters in the knitting group will end up dead. But the folks on the small town do t seem rattled by endless murders in their midst. The ending went out with a whimper.

I want to learn how to knit! I felt like this when I read the first book in this series, WHILE MY PRETTY ONE KNITS, and I felt like this again while reading this one.
And I liked reading this fun cozy. I did sort of figure out whodunit a wee bit early, but I continued reading it because I wanted to be sure and I really love the characters in the book, The Black Sheep Knitters. The story moves along and is told through different characters' POV. I like this, I became more invested in each character's life. I see how the knitting group is their respite from life. I would love to find a group of friends like this....and learn to knit....
Can't wait to read the next in the series.

Word of warning: There are several recipes and knitting patterns (web links to them, at least) at the back of the book. One of them contains a SPOILER about the whodunit, so if you DON'T want to know who's involved in the crime, avoid flipping to the patterns and recipes before reading the book. Actually, the culprit would have been at or near the top of my suspect list even without the tip-off, so maybe it's not that much of a spoiler anyway.

As a mystery book, this one was boringly basic...and well stupid.
I did like the recipes for Pesto Pasta with Asparagus and Artichokes whichs sounds yummy and will definitely grace my table one of these days...and I was encouraged to see the knit projects they talked about so, slightly motivating, but very simple in the mystery genre.

With a plot as thin as one-ply sock yarn, this book did not keep my interest. The author introduced too many characters and spent to much time telling instead of showing.
I'll give the rest of the series a pass.

I love the Black Sheep Ladies. They are a fun loving group of women that stick by each other. Never a dull moment when they are around. A fun loving cozy mystery that keeps you wondering what will happen next. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

Literary cotton candy. Looks like it will be good, pretty good at the start and by the end, you are wondering why you bothered to start at all. But b it's so light and fluffy, it's done pretty quickly.

Knit, Purl, Die is the second book in the Black Sheep Knitting series....
First off, a pet peeve - the proofreading was lacking on this book! Don't know if it was a rush to get the second book out or what but there were are number of storyline errors. First off was the synopsis on the back cover, Gloria is listed as being on husband number four when throughout the story, he is actually husband number three. On the back cover her husband is identified as Daniel Wexler and where that comes from is anyone's guess because in the book he is Jamie. Now inside the story itself, early in the book Suzanne's daughter is called Natalie, but in book one and again later in this story she is Alexis. Also early in the book Brian is mentioned as either Suzanne or Dana's husband, when we know from book one and the rest of book two that Dana's husband is jack and Suzanne's is Kevin. Names need to be consistent throughout the series, and this is something that is easy to check and keep straight. This is a huge pet peeve of mine, it makes you question what you are reading.
On to the story itself - we add new character into the Black Sheep Knitting Club in the person of Gloria, but she is not to stay around too long. Again, Lucy seems to take the lead in questioning things with Maggie dragging her feet the most. We see more of Dana and Suzanne in this story than in Book one.
The story itself is well written and easy to follow, but I got caught up in the errors and couldn't enjoy it the way I wanted.

I was looking for an easy read, something light and fun and this book seemed to fit the bill. a murder mystery and the sleuths are a gang of women who also love to knit - that sounds fun, right? oh man. ohh man. no, this was such a mess! the book was all over the place. the writing was not good. it REALLY needed an editor! The author used peak instead of peek three different times! ("she peaked into her shopping bag"). I also found myself constantly wondering, is this how women talk to each other??
I admit I had a good time but that was through just how surprisingly bad it was. I wouldn't recommend you going through and reading it yourself. Instead, I leave you with a quote that stuck with me most from the book:
> Suzanne shook her head and took a bite. She relished the taste of the cold lettuce and tomato against the warm toast and bacon, all mingling with the creamy mayo. Dear Goddess of Carbs, Fat Grams, and Empty Calories, please forgive me for my sins, she prayed silently. After a big swallow, [...]

Meh. Even as escape and relief I kind of finished it because I don't like leaving books half-read. Things that stuck out as clues to me weren't given as much discussion as I think they would have (the project in the pool, for instance, it's mentioned at the wrap up but that's a blatant clue to foul play) to actual knitters. I don't know if I'll pick up another in the series (except by accident); I liked the different points of view of delivering the story, but it didn't go anywhere, wasn't really used to move the plot forward (save for the discovery of the body) or reveal to us readers tiny things that turned out to be big clues. Additionally there was a lot of stereotypical female thought, so much that I thought it was a man writing as a woman, you know? Diet stuff, weight and appearance, familial, relationship stuff...overall a meh.
January 29, 2024
In a technical sense, I didn't read this book. I made it to the discovery of the body but was already bored and incredibly turned off by the sheer volume of body-shaming comments made in the first 30 pages of the book. Nearly every page had a comment about someone's weight and/or eating habits -- too thin, too fat, on a detox, dieting, bad food, good food -- and there was only one conceivable suspect. I was curious if the single most obvious suspect would turn out to be the killer so I just jumped to the end. Surprise: they were.
So I read the beginning and the end and was unimpressed with both of them. (You'll be glad to know that the final scene also had moral judgements of food, the book is nothing if not consistent.)

A friend (AC) sent me a number of books from this series.
I liked that the knitters decided to make squares to create a blanket for a worthy cause. I wish we'd "seen" Lucy knit the socks for Matt that she kept saying she was going to knit--it seems odd to me that the author includes information about the socks in the "extras" at the end but doesn't have Lucy actually knit them or even start to knit them.
I did wonder if one character was the killer fairly early in the book (1/3-1/2 of the way through)--I won't say if I was correct or not. I will say that I'm not usually the reader who figures out "whodunit" (or at least not until close to when the author reveals it if I do manage to figure it out).

This was an enjoyable, quick read. One of the new members of the Black Sheep Knitters is found drowned in her pool. She was wealthy, and had recently returned to town with a new - and much younger - husband, but they were incredibly devoted to one another. Gloria died while Jamie, her husband was out of town making arrangements with a gallery owner for an art show.
So it's not great or deep literature, but it's entertaining, and I have to say that the ending was a surprise to me.
I am currently having trouble concentrating on any book that is too involved, so this was a lovely way to do some reading and enjoy it.

Too good to be true
Gloria and Jamie have a marriage that seems too good to be true - a romance between an older woman and younger man, where supposedly the man is NOT a gold-digger out for her money only. Lucy and the Black Sheep knitters have enjoyed having both of them as part of their knitting family, reveling in Gloria’s zesty spirit and love of life. When she’s found drowned in her pool, with Jamie out of town, it seems a sad accident - but the Black Sheep knitters feel something isn’t quite right about her death, and keep probing, looking into her life and discovering secrets. Did one of those contribute to her death?
